Last moved by the program.? From the help:
?
Moves, Wait and Last Time Moved You can edit the number of times a car has been moved by the program and the car's wait count directly from the "Cars" window. Double click on the cell in the Cars window to change. The built and owner fields can be found in the??window. The last time moved is set by the program.

Not sure why you would want the last time you manually moved the car to a new location?

I use virtual classification tracks in my yards so that I can see which cars are potentially assigned to outgoing trains.? This build I noticed that one of my trains was oversubscribed by 100% so I decided to redirect those cars.? I used the Set function to move the cars to a different outgoing virtual track and associated destination.? JOps properly recorded the moves in the logger file, but didn't update the last moved field.

I use the car export function to get the data I need to produce waybills and empty car orders.? I expected to easily identify those cars that I moved by simply sorting the export on the Last field.? Didn't happen.? Disappointed.? I was able to use the log to identify the cars, and then pick them out of the export for my needs.

Why take the trouble to log but not update the Last field?

The "Last Field" is the last time the car was moved by the program.? It has to be part of train, and then delivered? to a track.? The program also doesn't increment the "Move" count when you manually change a car's location.

When tracking rolling stock, some operators "forget" they manually moved a car, so the log has to record all car movements, including manual.
