Arrange boxes in rack

Hi there, I am just learning flexsim, I designed this model, But I still face problem with dealing with labels.

My model has 5 types of boxes, I can not understand how we can put the boxes based on their types in certain slots. For example in the first bay, I want the only the boxes from type A, B in both bay 2,3, etc. I tried the painter, with no results

Are you using process flow or 3D modeling to implement it? If it's just 3D you can just choose the Label and value you want to sort by and it will automatically sort it. Here's a simple model that puts them in the racks according to Type label.

The issue was just not choosing the slot assignment strategy on the rack to be Matching Labels:

Here's the model! I kind of arbitrarily assigned slots but you can edit it

You can just put quotes around strings for example "A" or "B" will work!
