When the optimization is complete, a popup will display summarizing the results of the route optimization.  Tap Reorder stops to accept the optimized route (and reorder your stops) or cancel if you want to ignore the optimization. 

 

The first and last stop will not be moved, but the other stops will ordered to minimize travel time.

 

Since the first and last stops won’t be moved, the best practice is to enter your home/office/warehouse as the first and last stop.
