You do not have to run Optimize to set stop order. Drag stops in List View and RoadWarrior keeps your sequence and updates drive time estimates between stops as the order changes.
To let RoadWarrior pick the order for you, see Optimize and route settings.
How do I manually order stops?
Open your route on the Planner Map.
Expand the route menu at the bottom of the screen to open List View. (The official name for this control may change in a future app update.)
Use the drag handle on each stop to drag and drop stops into the order you want.
RoadWarrior updates the route automatically as you reorder. There is no separate Calculate button to tap.
What happens if I tap Optimize?
You can combine both approaches: run Optimize first for a efficient baseline, then drag individual stops in List View to match how you actually plan to drive.
List View layout
Sort the list
By default, stops appear in the order you added them to the route.
| Topic | Status | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Default order | Documented | Stops follow add order until you drag reorder or run Optimize | | Change sort | Coming soon | New 2.0 sort UI; legacy dual stop/favorite labels no longer apply | | Drag reorder | Documented | See steps above; overrides display order for route sequence |
Dragging stops always changes route order. Sort options only change how the list is displayed when alternate views are available.
