[pgrouting-users] Incorrect order of edges

[Stephen Woodbridge]

The segments are in the right order, but the direction of the segment 
from A to B is the order that the segment was loaded and NOT the order 
of traversal. You can check and flip segments something like this:

1) check if the first segment needs to be reversed if (the A end match 
either the A or B end of the next segment flip segment one.
2) for the next segment, if the B end matches the B end of the current 
segment, then flip the next segment
3) make the next segment the current segment and loop to 2) until done

Now you segments should be in the correct order.
