First put the cards in the order you want via marking them or by a complex sort then do:
put 0 into myvar
repeat with v = 1 to the number of cards
set the altID of card v to (myVar +1)
end repeatHTH

Tom,
Hrm, I'll look into this property then provided it can be 'set' . I would just sort on the card ID number except that I created 4 cards in the beginning to test the audio and transport controls, then added the other 20+ cards later, after a lot of added/deleted additional cards which threw off the numbers.

Chris,
Don't forget the altID of each card as well...
The altID does not change if you have them in the preferred order when you set the altID.
This is good to get back to the original order.
Then you can use the index of card to sort other ways.

This looks like something just about what I was hoping for. It is still not my perfect syntax but if it does the same thing then so be it. What I'm really looking for (ideally) is a command that bypasses the marking/going step and just goes there.
go card where (the Index of this card = 1)
or
go card with the Index = 1
an exact parallel of something like: go card with the short name "foo"
In any case these beat my solution - but I was very pleased with myself for having made it work on my own even in a very crude script.

How's this:
mark cards where (the Index of this card = 1) go next marked card unmark all cards -- just to be safe

Howdy,
Is it possible to use a custom property as a sort key? I
have a stack
of flashcards that have an embedded "permanent" order in the
form of a
custom property called Index. I use a pretty crude script to flip
through all the cards (after being shuffled, aka sort on key random),
find the one with index 1, go to it, then sort on it.
Is it possible to say something like: go to card with Index of 1
? (obviously that is not appropriate transcript, as i'm searching for
the syntax)... this would be similar to saying something along the
lines of go to card with short name "xyz"
Surely this is implemented, and I just can't find it.
Yours, Chris
