Route sort rules are a great way to send on demand orders to the routed side of X Dispatch. When an order is placed using an order type with a sort rule configured (on the pickup, delivery, or both addresses), the zip code for the address is used to find a route match, moving the order onto a route. Route sort rules can also be used for importing route stops through an integration to allow route assignment based on the time of day or day of the week.

Note
  • When using Route Sort Rules in X Dispatch, any order that is sorted to a route will display in Nextstop the Driver App as an on demand order if the "Send to dispatch" box is checked on the order type form.  If the box is unchecked, the order will be display as a route stop in Nextstopthe Driver App.  
  • The Lookup Column value cannot be greater than 255.
