# Sorting Vocabulary
# TODO REWRITE

Learn how to efficiently sort and organize new vocabulary as you add them.

## The Sorting Screen

When you import vocabulary, you'll see the sorting screen where you can:

- Review each word-translation pair
- Decide the next action for each item
- Handle duplicates and conflicts

## Actions

### ✅ Mark as Learned

Move the word directly to Stage 1:
- The word enters your learning queue
- You'll review it according to the learning schedule

### 🗑️ Delete

Remove the word entirely:
- Use for duplicates or unwanted entries
- This action is permanent

### 📝 Edit

Tap on any word or translation to edit:
- Correct typos
- Improve translations
- Add additional context

## Duplicate Handling

When duplicates are detected:

| Icon | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| ⚠️ | Duplicate detected |
| ✅ | Original entry |
| ❌ | Duplicate entry |

**Options for duplicates:**
- Keep only the original
- Keep the newer entry
- Keep both (merge)
- Delete the duplicate

## Helper Features

### Remove Articles

Toggle to automatically strip articles from words:
- "der Hund" → "Hund"
- "the dog" → "dog"
- Useful for cleaner vocabulary lists

### Quick Actions

Use quick action buttons for bulk operations:
- **Skip All** - Review later
- **Learn All** - Add all to Stage 1
- **Delete Duplicates** - Auto-remove duplicates

## Tips

> **Pro Tip:** Review carefully before sorting. Once sorted, you can still edit words in the vocabulary list.
