HI all, please looks like simple, but I cant figure out why the operator walking ramdonly to picked up parts to combine? For me if the ports of the combiner which generate the TS are sorted ascending and the order list also is ascending, why the Operator do not follow the sequence to picked up item from racks from 1 to 12 as expected. Is there any way to setup combiner's list components to request a picked up sequence per item type instead of port?

You need to search the solution in this site about your issue. The key word is 'operator picking sequence' for searching.
You can get the solution in the result of searching.
Attached is your model with the changes that I've made. Take a look at the model and see if it is doing what you were wanting it to do.
I changed your Sources so that they weren't generating an infinite number of flowitems (makes model real slow). I close the output port of Source1 so only the totes needed are generated. I open the output port of Source1 in the OnExit trigger of the Combiner, which is when it needs a new tote anyway. I'm thinking that is about all I did. Again, take a look and see if something like this would work for your situation.
Thanks.
