Stop packages sliding, or sort them so you can find the next one.
Verdict
The net stops packages moving; the organizer stops you searching. They solve different halves of the same annoyance and together they cost under thirty five dollars. If you are choosing one, choose by what actually costs you time. If packages slide into a heap every corner, buy the net. If you lose thirty seconds at each stop digging for the right box, buy the organizer.

Your packages end up in a pile against one wheel arch by the third turn. A net costs about nine dollars, hooks to existing anchor points, and holds a load in place without taking any space at all. It does nothing to help you find package fourteen of forty.

Your time goes on searching rather than driving. Loading roughly in route order into divided compartments turns each stop into a grab rather than a hunt, and thirty seconds a stop across forty stops is twenty minutes of your block. The trade is that it takes space and takes longer to load at the station.

Roughly in reverse route order, so the first stop is nearest the tailgate, with anything oversized separate. The itinerary usually gives you enough to sort by, and five minutes spent sorting at the station generally comes back several times over.
Whichever you can reach safely without climbing. Loading a back seat means opening a door on a road side, which is the more dangerous option on a busy street. Keep the road side clear where you can.
Indirectly. Late deliveries and wrong packages are what affect standing, and both get more likely when you are digging through a heap in the dark. Organisation is a time and accuracy tool, not a scoring one.
