Display images from 1 slot only in playback?

I have the Z5II and got myself a second card for backup. What I like to do with the cards is that I want to use the second one as backup storage for my RAWs. This means that I will be able to delete some images in camera while still having them in the background just in case. I can also format the card in the first slot after downloading the images from it, and still have everything saved in the second card if I discover a corrupted file later down the line. This means that card 1 will be tidy, while card 2 will pile up with files that are of less interest in playback (lots of older files and shots that looks failed in camera).

My issue is that when I want to go back to the first image in slot 1 I have to scroll all the way back, instead of just 1 click to the right, as this will just start showing me the images in slot 2 instead. It's more convenient for me to only have recent images in playback, which would be the case if I could exclude slot 2 from playback. Is there a way to exclude slot 2, or atleast be able to go back to the first image in slot 1 much faster than having to scroll through all of them?

A bit clunky but all I found is :
  • while reviewing, hit "i" button
  • Pick "Choose slot and folder" option + Ok
  • Pick Slot 1 (or 2 if you want to go to first image of Slot 2) + Ok + Ok again on folder display and there you are on first image of Slot 1 (or Slot 2 if it's the one you've chosen)
At least, if you have many images and far in the middle of them, it's still faster than rolling thru all of them before reaching the first of the slot.

For the moment I found nothing else.
 
BTW the Z5II and Zf are basically Fraternal Twins so I expect that playback options are identical. One thing I did find with my Zf that may prove helpful is in the Custom Controls for the Display. I changed the setting for the OK button from Zoom on/off to Choose Slot and Folder. By doing this choosing slot 1 will take you to the first image in slot 1 and choosing slot 2 will take you to the first image in slot 2. I will also remind you that using the front dial advances the display 10 images per click while the rear dial does one image at a click.

Anyhow hope this provides some help.
