Sending items from queue based on condition

So in my model items are labeled in the source in 3 different types 1,2,3. They are sent to queue 5 where batching is carried out and then sent to queue 1. So I am sorting the items into the 3 queues queue 1, queue 3 and queue 2 based on their types by having queue 3 and queue 2 pull item types 2 and 3. What I am stuck at is that want to send the items from queue 6 only and only after they have been sorted among queue 1,3 and 2.

Hi @Prateekq4! This would probably be easiest to do in process flow. What I did is I changed all the logic to happen in process flow and used the batch option to choose when to release the tokens:

That way you can decide when to release them when they're all sorted.

I attached the model below but message back if you have more questions!

P.S. You also had an error with names in the global table that I fixed, it was just a matter of weird apostrophes
