The results should be sorted, but the geometry may be reversed with 
resprct to the direction of travel and the geometry order in the 
database. I would write a simple stored procedure to reverse the 
segments as needed.

- check if the first edge needs to be reversed, ie if the source is in 
the 2nd edge (source or target).
- for the rest of the edges if last.target != this.source then reverse

If you are asking if you can specify the a start or end somewhere on an 
edge rather than a vertex, then consider using TRSP (it is in a branch 
in git and you will need to build it yourself).

If you are asking if you can create a route from A to B to C to ..., 
then you need to compute each leg as a separate query.
