# How to set the sequence of orders using 'Trip Optimizer+ beta' feature

This guide provides a quick overview of how to set the sequence of orders using 'Trip Optimizer+ beta' by considering proper distance and taking into account both start and end locations.
---

**Introduction:**

Dropboy provides a **'Trip optimizer+ beta'** feature that efficiently organizes 'A to B' or 'Via Hub' orders, considering factors like proper distance, streets, roads, and bridges. It factors in **'Trip starting time,' 'Starting point location,' 'End point location,' 'Observe time slots,' and 'Minimize waiting time.'** 

In this article, we learn how to sort orders based on proper **distance considering only 'Trip starting time,' 'start' and 'end' locations factors**. Let's understand how to optimize and comprehend these factors.

| **Remember:** There is a limit; you can sort/optimize with **'Trip optimizer+ beta'** up to 150 orders for the 'Tasks List'.

|| For more details about 'Trip optimizer+ beta' feature, follow this article: [What is the major difference between 'Optimize trip' vs 'Trip optimizer+ beta' features](/en/article/what-is-the-major-difference-between-optimize-trip-vs-trip-optimizer-beta-features-1j1px5q/)
