This means that the mailer of the piece sorted them by the carriers routes before giving them to the Post Offal, thus saving the PO a lot of work and themselves a lot of maney, since they get a better rate if they do the work. I presume you can get some sort of data from the PO to sort by if you want to do something like this. I also know that there are companies that will do it all for you. One of the biggest is in Boulder CO and was written up in Smithsonian a few months ago. They are the reason the subscription correspondence for 75% of your magazines goes to Boulder....
