You can batch items in a queue by selecting the checkbox shown in the picture below

and first in first out (FIFO) is default for almost everything. If you want to do more complicated moving of items, look at Lists, they will actually give the amount of time an item has stayed in a queue, and you can pull a select amount of items from a queue after they have waited for a designated amount of time.

Thank you very much, to use the lists in process flow is it okay to do it this way?

I would look over the documentation for "Working with Lists" in the manual, and some of the Process Flow tutorials incorporate lsits.
