You need a photoeye to translate the position of items. A condition that gets regulary true lets a item to translate to another position. A modulus operator depending on the content of the conveyor does this.

@Jörg Vogel's idea of translating the items works well visually.

The following is helpful in understanding how the logic works behind this. It's important to remember that one item is still in front of the other in this case. As shown below, the first object to enter the conveyor is the one that exits first. They do not exit simultaneously.
