Your choice of course but it isn't the end of the world to restart.

You just have to create a new filtered deck ordered by oldest first study of the card. Anki will then show you the cards for review in heisig order, for which you can use the book to follow along with the primitives to remember them. You can also make a range a time, but I don't remember if it was advantageous or just something I did while I didn't know better.

I also suggest tweaks in the deck options, especially making the new interval for mistakes about 20% of the previous one (the second option, with the percentage). This will avoid your failed cards clumping together for tomorrow, hindering your progress. It will also take advantage that many of them you will be able to remember 5 or 10 days from today after refreshing your memory from a year long hiatus. The ones you don't, you just have to fail again for them to show up the next day. [b]Don't be afraid of failing cards you didn't remember quickly.[\b] And the part you easily remember after all that time you can press hard or good and you won't see them for a good time (easy is perhaps overkill except for cards like 一).

The start is the easiest part, as they are easier kanji in general and were the most mature. The last hundred kanjis that you studied on the other hand will be like new, you might not even remember studying some of them. The delayed reviews thanks to the 20% trick will also start pilling up, but stil pretty manageable. I suggest doing this catch up the fastest that you can, but not too fast.

It seems you are not using Anki. I don't know if RevTk has something similar to Anki's "Cram study".

tl;dr: reviewing kanjis in the heisig order is much easier after stopping reviews for a long time, but you don't have to start from zero to do that.
