Skip vocab button/Frequency

I know Bunpro vocab isn’t the main appeal of the platform, but the place I’m at right now I main Bunpro as my only real SRS as I already completed Wanikani and I think this change would benefit every Bunpro user. Allowing users to skip vocab (sending it to the bottom of the deck) rather than marking as mastered would allow users to prioritize vocabulary that is actually useful or common. For example, the next vocab in my N2 deck is 尉 じょう. I do not think this Kanji is really an N2 level Kanji. It’s likely N1 or above. It is not useful for me. It is not something I will come across in reading most likely. But, if I want to study for the N1 maybe it would be useful LATER. But now it isn’t, so marking it as mastered is 1. Bad for my sense of completion and 2. Bad for if I want to study more difficult words later. This also wouldn’t be a problem if you could sort by frequency, but that’s a bit of a more hard ask. This happens quite often with the N2 deck, happened a bit with N3 and N4 and even N5 which may be a problem with the decks themselves, but a skip vocab button would immediately solve this issue for me. I see a vocab with no frequency listed or like top 100,000 word skipped boom next. And I wouldn’t just learn basically useless words I’m probably never going to see or use.
