Hi, Using an attribute is agood idea. A lot of measuring devices generating ascii files with coordinates, e.g. various type of surveying equipment and coordinate measuring devices for industrial use produces file that basically look like this:
featuretyp, X,Y,Z,pencode A sample file from a steroplotter used for mapping arial images with sterooverlpa looks like this: BBH 1868462.502 7323256.557 5.266 21 BBH 1868458.596 7323265.540 5.266 22 BBH 1868452.062 7323262.698 5.266 22 BBH 1868455.967 7323253.716 5.266 22 BBH 1868462.502 7323256.557 5.266 23 BBH 1868359.027 7322916.789 6.259 21 BBH 1868357.951 7322925.557 6.259 22 BBH 1868351.513 7322924.767 6.259 22 BBH 1868352.589 7322915.999 6.259 22 BBH 1868359.027 7322916.789 6.259 23 where 21 signifies the styart of the polygon (or line) and 23 the end.

The original author, Pavol Kapusta, uploaded (a new version of) it to the contributed repository so you should be able to install it using the plugin installer (plugins > Install python plugins).

Or just following the > incrementing point number would be enough to get a correct geometry ? As for now the plugin assumes the points are in the proper order. Sorting them by an attribute sounds like a good idea to me, I'?l think about it.
