Just a thought, but with minimal background knowledge:- Why not add a boolean tag, something like "sorted=yes" which editors will always turn off unless the editor (or user) can verify that the sorting has been maintained? Provided that there is a well defined order relation, that should be something that editor could automate? ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
