Sorting shipments in Opter Driver for Android
You can sort the list of shipments on the New, Todo and Done tabs in many different ways:
- Several fields in order of priority.
- Ascending or descending for each field.
- Manually by dragging and dropping.
The list is displayed in the same order as in dispatch by default, but the dispatcher can set that the sorting you do in the app is displayed in dispatch. For more information, see Synchronising the route sequence in Opter Driver and dispatch.
If you press Sort on the menu again after sorting the shipments, you will not see how the list is sorted.
- Press in the top right corner and select Sort.
- Press the first field you want to sort by, for example Earliest delivery. The number 1 and a down arrow indicate that the list is sorted by this field first, in descending order (9-0). Press the field again to change the order to ascending (0-9).
- Press the field you want to sort by second, for example Earliest pickup. The number 2 indicates that the list will be sorted by this field if several shipments have the same value in the field you are sorting by first.
- Add as many fields as you want to sort by.
- Press Save. The menu closes and the list is sorted according to your choices. If the dispatcher has set the sorting to be synchronised to dispatch, this takes place when you press Save.
- Press in the top right corner, select Sort and then press Manual.
- Press and hold the shipments and drag them to the positions where you want them in the list.
- When you have finished sorting, press and select Sequencing completed. If the dispatcher has set the sorting to be synchronised to dispatch, this takes place when you press Sequencing completed.
The Sort menu
All options can be sorted in ascending or descending order, as indicated by an arrow when sorting. The number shows the field’s order of priority if several shipments have the same value in a field (for example, if several orders have the same last delivery time, you can sort by last pickup time as a second criterion).
