Please vote for correcting wrong LN behavior when generating outbound advice:

When generating outbound from the dashboard, LN uses the sequence visible on screen (or the selected records) starting from the top of the screen moving its way to the bottom records to execute the Generate Outbound process.
By following the order number sequence, LN is not giving priority to orders with an earlier delivery date. (which I consider as a bug, but support and development is not agreeing)
Since we need to use the Planned Delivery Date as the priority for allocating inventory this is not possible from the warehouse dashboard and we are forced to use the individual session Generate Outbound advice.
As a consequence we are loosing the advantage of having a dashboard.
If a new index on Planned Delivery Date would be added, the sorting on screen would be by Planned Delivery Date and correct usage of the dashboard is possible.
We added an index in table whinh200 with an extension but we cannot add a custom index in whinh2300m000, the extension modeler is not providing the option.
