WALK only trip shown first when searching for transit trips

[M. Wirtz]

Hello OTP users,

I'm new to OTP and just started to play around with OTP2.

When doing trip searches by mode TRANSIT I experience that quit often a WALK only trip is included as the first result even when this is not the quickest (first at destination) nor the duration (time on travel) is the smallest.

Is there an option to change the sorting of the returned itineraries? So that e.g. the quickest is shown first.

I'm using v2.0.0 with the default settings.

Thx.

Ok, looks like this is a bug and not a feature:

The sort-order work as intended, the bug is not related to the sorting - only to including a walk option or not. WALKING ALL THE WAY (and other street modes) is always shown as the first option. The reason is that the rest of the itineraries is shown in a "timetable" like view. For example if arriveBy=false then all transit itineraries are listed by the arrival time. The reason street only modes are sorted before transit is that street only modes can be time-shifted, while transit can not.
