How to reorder a driver's stops in Dumpster Controls

Stop order is the route. Change the sequence any time before a stop starts, and the numbers, connectors, and map update to match.

1
Desktop: drag within the lane
Drag a card up or down inside the same driver lane and drop it in the new position.
2
Desktop alternative: hover arrows
Hover a card to reveal small up and down chevrons on its right edge. Click them to move the stop one position at a time.
3
Mobile: use the chevrons
In a driver's task list on the phone, each card has up and down chevron buttons on its right side. Drag-and-drop is disabled on mobile.
4
Let it save
The "Saving..." chip shows while the new order is written. Cards are protected from further moves until it finishes.

What happens next

Sequence numbers renumber instantly, and the leg connectors between cards recalculate the loaded versus empty truck states.
If the driver reorders their own route from their app, you will see a toast like "Reordered by {driver}" and the lane updates live.

Stops that are "IN ROUTE", "COMPLETED", or "FULL DUMPSTER" are pinned and skipped by reordering.
