Sorting items after a Combiner

I'm modelling a factory and I'm facing some difficulties in sorting items between two production lines, Regular Lane and Fast Lane. Initially, there are two Sources, one for Regular Lane and the other for Fast Lane. So far so good. Then this items are combined with a tray and leave the combiner on conveyors going to other processors. After the processors and in the end of the conveyors I would like to sort the items. The ones that came from Regular Source should go to Queue Regular and the ones that came from Fast Source should go to Queue Fast. I put three Decision Points on the place where the items should be sorted, but I can't find the condition to separate them. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. The model is the one attached to this question.

I'd just use an additional label to differentiate between the items. In the attached model I use the label "Lane" which either gets the value "Regular" or "Fast". At the DP, you can send the item to a different lane depending on that label. Note that the item that arrives at the DP is the tote, hence I use "item.first.Lane" which accesses the Lane label on the first subnode of the tote.
