Cards mixing characters and pinyin - where did I go wrong?

So I must have done something wrong, because my cards (both HSK 6 imported ones and recent cards) now are displaying a mix of pinyin/characters/traditional and English in the MC options. I just want to have it prompt me in Hanzi, and I choose pron and def.
Suggestions?

Most likely the fields in the import got screwed up somehow and characters accidentally ended up in the pinyin section.

If it's possible for you to roll back (undo option in the import screen) and reimport I'd suggest you do that; if not, find the relevant cards in Search Cards (look for cards created in that import) and you can use the option in Batch to re-generate their pinyin from their characters. (Make sure to back up your database first in case something goes wrong)

Thanks Mike, thing is this suddenly started happening to cards that didn't have a problem before and even to cards created in Pleco through the plus button.

You can see that the flashcards are fine when viewed from the category view in the organize Flashcard function but then display funkie the test.

I'm not actually seeing the incorrect (characters instead of pinyin) cards in these screenshots of Organize - could you post screenshots of them? Or just email or PM me a backup of your flashcard database? (Import/Export / Backup Database)

Not seeing anything wrong with the file you sent - are you using the option in New Test / Display to remap cards to different dictionaries?
