How to Use the Smart Sorting Feature with Your Yarbo?

What is Smart Sorting?

The Smart Sorting feature allows your Yarbo to automatically start cleaning from the closest area and work its way to the farthest one.

Where can I turn on/off the Smart Sorting toggle?

  1. Click the yellow “Start” button on the main interface or on the My Yard page.

  2. Go to the Plan List, find the plan you’d like to adjust, and tap the settings icon.

  1. Select Edit Plan.

  1. You will then see the Smart Sorting toggle.

FAQ :

  1. With Smart Sorting disabled, in what order will Yarbo work in different areas? Yarbo will follow the default order of your area list. If you want to customize the work sequence, you can drag and reorder the areas in the list to meet your preferences.

I have yet to see this work efficiently. I have multiple dead ends in my area and I would expect smart sorting to get them mowed in in an order that require minimal travel across the area. However, this isn’t happening. The mower goes across the area to mow a deadend and then goes back to the other end to mow the other deadend. This should not happen.

Thank you for your feedback!

The smart sorting feature is currently designed to determine the mowing sequence between different areas. When it comes to deadends, we recognize that the route planning within an area can still be improved, and we do plan to optimize this in future updates.

We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention—it helps us continue to improve the Yarbo experience.

how do i drag the areas, i tried, nothing seems to happen?

Did you tap and hold on the three bars and then drag?

It’s fiddly, @michaelbabbitt7. I haven’t figured out the magic that lets you drag and drop when you want to. You just have to keep trying to drag on the item in the list you want to move. Sometimes I’ll tap+hold the item and try to move it horizontally or diagonally, and it’ll unhook and let me move it where I want to on the list.

Maybe deselect them first or vice versa?

I don’t think it matters. The GUI is sticky, at least on my phone, and it sounds like @michaelbabbitt7’s phone as well.

If your phone is gooey and sticky, you should clean it! :joy:

You hold then drag precisely on those little horizontal bars on the right edge.
I use my pinky finger and get pretty consistent results.
