The items with smaller label values should be output first.

Hello,

I would like to move items from Q1 to Q2 based on the size of the "edd" label. I’m wondering if it’s possible to write the code directly in the Q1 output **sendToPort** section. I hope to achieve this without using **Process Flow or List.

I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Send to port gets evaluated right after an on entry event. A result is stored at the tested item. What you want is to delay releasing events in the event list. Yes, this is possible for very advanced programmers in FlexSim.Instead I suggest to build a Process Flow logic to hold all items, store them on a list, pull them from this list, call a releaseitem command on a pull result.

Your request only really makes sense if the first queue builds up a backlog of items or if it's known beforehand which items will be created so the queue could hold items and wait for future ones.

For the first case, you can use the "Sort By Expression" option for the OnEntry trigger (under "Control"). Or use a list as Jörg suggests.
