Setting up cards so they are in a specific order

If you would like your cards to be in a specific order for your finished product you will need to follow these steps when you set them up.

The first example is for an 18 poker card deck:

Card Faces
1   7   13
2   8   14
3   9   15
4  10  16
5  11   17
6  12   18

Card Backs
13   7   1
14   8   2
15   9   3
16  10  4
17  11  5
18  12  6

If you have more than one sheet in your deck then the first column will start with 1 and end with the number of sheets times the number of cards per sheet. In our example we are using poker cards which are 6 cards in each column per sheet. So if I had a 54 card deck requiring 3 sheets, my first column would be numbered 1-18 across the three sheets. My second column would start with 19 thru 36 and the last column would be numbered 37-54 down the three sheets.

Here is a graphic example of what I just described: Use numbers as reference if your cards are numbered. Use the suit reference is your cards are suited. (Ac= Ace of Clubs, etc...)
