I'm a web developer working with a ShipRush customer. They recently asked me if there was any way to specify the ordering of items inside orders that are processed in ShipRush. Their reasoning was that if they could specify the order of the items, it would make the pick/pack process easier -- the person packing the order could simply go down the line and pull items from the correspondingly-ordered bins.
To do this, I did some work on our backend to make sure that orders going into the ShipRush plugin had their items listed in the order they wanted. I confirmed that the XML being generated had the <ShipmentOrderItem> elements listed in the proper order, and signed off on it.
However, it appears that the order in which items appear in ShipRush (the shipping software as well as my.shiprush.com) is semi-random. They aren't consistently ordered by item number, or item name, or quantity, or by the order in which the items appeared in the XML.
Is there anyway for us to set the order in which items appear in ShipRush from the XML?
