It's very easy to distribute sprites using lerp expression. For example:

Card set X to lerp(50, 500, card.iid/(Card.count-1))

If you need to do this only for some sprite instances, say you need to re-arrange cards that belong to player 1:
Card compare instance variable player=1 local variable NumberOfCards Set NumberOfCards to Card.pickedCount System for each Card Card set X to lerp(50, 500, loopindex/(NumberOfCards-1))

The above will work better for a large number of cards. When there are only 1-3 cards left, they will be too far apart. If you need to keep cards together, say at fixed 80px distance from each other, you need to use some other method. For example:

Card set X to Card.iid*80 + (LayoutWidth/2-(Card.Count-1)*80/2)

Here is a demo on how to make a searchable list:

KiloTheNeko In your example the sprite will fade to invisible and then fade back in. I think what OP meant was how to transition/morph from one image to another.
I guess this can be done with two sprites - the main sprite and its clone. Clone sprite should be above the main one. Add Fade behavior to the clone sprite. In "MainSprite-On animation Frame Change" event start a quick fade out for the clone sprite. When fade out is finished, set animation frame for the clone sprite to MainSprite.animationFrame

Have you tried RawAxis? See my demo project from this post:

Yeah, with Local Storage you can't just experiment and see what's going on. You need to study the documentation and follow certain rules.

The first screenshot is fine, although there is an easier way to invert a boolean - Set b to (b=0)

The second screenshot is totally wrong. You can't use "get item" and access LocalStorage.ItemValue in the same event. You should not put local storage triggers as sub-events. "Item exist" and "Item missing" will not be triggered by themselves, you need to execute "Get item" or "Check if item exist" from some other event, for example on start of the layout.

Also, if you need to store multiple variables, it's much easier to put them into a dictionary and store the entire dictionary as one key. See these demo projects:

If you load images from URL, you still need 100 empty frames. So set frames from 0 to 99 for all 100 instances of the sprite. Add an instance variable isImageLoaded, and add this code:
Every 0.1 seconds Sprite isImageLoaded=0 Sprite Y<3000 Sprite load image from URL "http://mywebsite.com/pic" & Sprite.animationFrame & ".jpg" Sprite set isImageLoaded to 1

If you open Rex's demo project and add this code, you can make the sprite to move in reverse at any time:

You can use this method to change direction. If you need, you can also slow the sprite down by decreasing speed. Say, if the sprite is moving to the right and player is holding Left key, decrease speed until it falls to 0. Then change direction and start increasing speed.

I am not sure I understand your issue as the link you posted doesn't work, but you can try Pin+ addon:

You can try manually copying and editing json files, but this is a complex task.

It's possible to work in collaboration on one project, see these tutorials:
