Description
Not sure that this is not a duplicate suggestion but I could not find anything like it in the active tickets.
Currently, the sort button in the relation editor handles incomplete routes by sorting each segment and leaving the segments in quasi-random order. The ordering direction can also be different from one segment to another.
It would be a great improvement if the segments could be sorted geographically, and their ordering directions homogenized, so as to reproduce the same order that the user would obtain if the route was complete.

We can agree that the current situation is not ideal. Remains to see what is the best evolution: disable, or improve. I can argue that, with the proper warnings, a heuristics-based sorting would be extremely useful.

Something should be clarified maybe. There are two reasons why a relation is incomplete: intrinsically incomplete (work not finished), or not completely loaded in JOSM. The case that I am addressing here is the intrinsically incomplete relation, where full sorting would be very useful to work on discontinuities. Take for instance a hiking route of thousands of members, totally in disorder and with dozens of discontinuities...

Replying to _StC_:

Thanks for clarifying, as I am referring to relations without all members downloaded. This is JOSM's definition of incomplete relations.
So, we are talking about two different things. I have created #20643 for my enhancement.
I have no problem with a better sorting if all members are downloaded. I know many minor road relations which consist of several unconnected parts and still there is some better order possible.

Actually, I am not happy with sorting incomplete relations at all. It is just too dangerous. If the user manually selects some members and sorts them, that is fine.
So in my eyes, sorting the whole relation (without selection or only one member selected) and sorting from selection and to the bottom should be disabled for incomplete relations.
