Description
Allows you to define lists and sequences which can later be referenced in your cards through a special tag syntax.
For instance, having defined 
USAGE
Sequence tags can be inserted anywhere within your fields or card templates. The tag syntax is quite elaborate and explained in a separate document.
You can edit
fruit = ["apple", "orange", "banana"] as a collection you could then reference that collection within your notes using ||set::fruit::1||. When reviewing your cards this tag would then be randomly assigned a value drawn from the fruit collection, i.e. apple, orange, or banana.
FEATURES
- 5 different tag types (random set, unique set, sequence, selection, random selection)
- supports inline list definitions as well as references to external collections
- 2 number generators (integers and floats) are provided for convenience
- subsequence tags allow you to reference predefined tags quickly
USAGE
Sequence tags can be inserted anywhere within your fields or card templates. The tag syntax is quite elaborate and explained in a separate document.
You can edit cols. py in the add-on directory to define global item collections. This file is user-specific, so your collections will be safe across add-on updates.
Here is a quick example of how the fruit collection mentioned above could be defined:
collections {
"fruit": ["apple", "orange", "banana"]
}
Make sure to consult the inline documentation in cols. py for more information on the exact collection and subsequence syntax.
CLIENT SUPPORT
Only the desktop releases are supported at this time. Your sequences will not be substituted on AnkiWeb or any of the mobile clients, but rather appear in their literal form.
CHANGELOG
2017-03-29 – v0.1.0 – Initial release

Useful for putting items in random order
the documentation is not for the faint of heart, but the youtube review shows a lot of good examples. This plugin can do a LOT, but here's an example that should help a lot of people—
FRONT:
Which of these has the same membrane potential?
||set::random_list_1|Skeletal Muscle,Cardiac Muscle,Smooth Muscle,Neurons,Erythrocytes::5::dlm|
||
BACK:
||pick::answer|Skeletal Muscle,Cardiac Muscle,Smooth Muscle,Neurons,Erythrocytes::1||

Brilliant and powerful
This add on is definitely has more uses than I would ever need. I'm using it for images, and for vocabulary synonyms in a language learning context. It saves me from making dozens of cards in a note type. I only use Anki on the PC, so I can see why that would be a downside of this add-on. According to a user on Reddit, this add-on conflicts with the multiple choice add-on, so your mileage may vary.
