How do I re-order stops in a route?

EasyRoutes orders stops in the most optimal way for you to complete your deliveries. However, you can change the order of the stops to suit your needs, or allow your drivers to manually re-order stops from the Delivery Driver mobile app.  Route stop order can also be reversed in one click - see this support article for further details.

Change the order of stops in individual routes

There are two ways to change the order of your stops in EasyRoutes when viewing a route.

  1. Underneath the map you will find your route options and below that is a horizontal line with circles corresponding to your stops. You can click and drag any of those circles left or right to re-order your stops:

  1. When viewing the table with your list of stops, in the column farthest to the left (next to the checkbox you use to select an order), you will find an icon displaying six dots. Click and drag that icon up or down to move the entire stop to a new location in the route:

When you are happy with your new route order, click Save button to apply your changes.

Dragging multiple stops at once

Multiple stops can be selected and dragged into a different position in a route using the checkboxes to the right of the dragging handle (six dots icon):

  1. Use the checkboxes to select all stops for re-ordering.
  2. On any of the stops selected, click and drag on the six dots icon - selected stops will be highlighted, and a tooltip will display the number of stops being moved.
  3. Drop the selected stops to their new desired location in the route table.

Three steps of moving several stops: stops 3, 4 and 5 checked, then dragged up by the six-dot handle as a group of 3, then placed as the first stops in the route

When you are happy with your new route order, click Save button to apply your changes.

Change the order of stops in route groups

You can also change the order of stops on a route group page by dragging and dropping stops from one route to another:

Change the order of stops in the mobile app

By default, changing the order of stops from the Delivery Driver mobile app is disabled. To allow your drivers to re-order stops on routes that have been dispatched to them, from your EasyRoutes Settings > Driver Settings tab, enable the Allow driver to reorder stops checkbox within the Driver app settings card:

Driver app settings card with the Allow driver to reorder stops checkbox ticked and highlighted

Click Save to apply your changes. Drivers will now be able to manually re-position any stops on their route. Full details on how this works within the mobile app in this support article.
