Sort by... in Nextstop 2

Using the Sort by setting sorts stops on the Stops List according to the following: 

  • Itinerary: While Itinerary sort is selected, On demand orders display first, then routed.  On demand orders are sequenced by start time, then by dispatcher sequence.  For Routed stops, dispatch may provide an Itinerary based on customer requests, time optimization, etc.  Routed orders are displayed grouped by Route, then by start time. 
  • Closest to Me: While Closest to Me sort is selected, stops are sequenced from closest to the device's current GPS location to farthest, using a straight line distance.
  • Status:  While Status sort is selected, stops are sequenced by the status of the stop. Stops are sequenced by status in the following order.   
    • Unconfirmed:  unconfirmed stops are secondarily sorted by end time from the earliest to the latest in descending order, then alphabetically by stop name.
    • Arrived:  arrived stops are secondarily sorted by actual arrival time from most recent arrival to the oldest in descending order.  
    • Late:  late stops are secondarily sorted by end time beginning with the earliest in ascending order, then by closest to the device location, then alphabetically by stop name.
    • Almost Late: almost late stops are secondarily sorted by the end time in ascending order, then by closest to the device location. 
    • Ready: ready stops are secondarily sorted by end time beginning with the earliest in ascending order, then by closest to the device location, then alphabetically by stop name.
    • Almost Ready:  almost ready stops are secondarily sorted by beginning time beginning with the earliest in descending order, then by closest to the device location, then alphabetically by stop name.
    • Early:  early stops are secondarily sorted by beginning time beginning with the earliest in ascending order, then by closest to the device location, then alphabetically by stop name.
    • Not Ready:  not ready stops are secondarily sorted by end time beginning with the earliest in ascending order, then alphabetically by stop name.
    • Complete:  completed stops are secondarily sorted by actual completion time beginning with the most recent.

    Quick Tip

    Each stop is color-coded to indicate the status of the stop.

  • Start Time: While Start Time sort is selected, stops are sequenced in chronological order based on the start of the stop time window.

  • End Time: While End Time sort is selected, stops are sequenced in chronological order based on the end of the stop time window.


There are two locations in the app to change to Sort by status, in the pull-out menu and in the Settings > Stops Workflow menu. This article demonstrates how to use the Sort by from the Settings menu.  The functionality of Sort by in the pull-out menu is exactly the same as it is in the Settings menu.
