ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing delivery point sequencing consistent with the invention includes assigning the plurality of items dynamic sequence numbers as the plurality of items pass through a sequencing component a first time, the sequencing component component comprising a plurality of partitions. Next the method and system include sorting the plurality of items into the plurality of partitions of the sequencing component as the plurality of items pass through the sequencing component the first time, each partition having a corresponding batch of items. And finally the method and system include sorting the items of each batch by the dynamic sequence numbers as the plurality of items pass through the sequencing component a second time, each of the plurality of partitions sorting only items of its corresponding batch.
