[postgis-users] linestring vertex order after st_union

[Rorie Overby]

I'm wondering if the order of a linestring's vertices can be adjusted when unioning geometries. It seems like they aren't, but should be when unioning multiple smaller components into one long multilinestring. 

For example, when unioning these linestrings

 (0 0,0 1,0 2),(0 4,0 3,0 2),(0 4,0 5,0 6)

I'd want to get this multilinestring returned

((0 0,0 1,0 2),(0 2,0 3,0 4),(0 4,0 5,0 6))

Is there a method of returning the order (right/left) of a linestring's vertices, or better yet, is there any way to force unioned geometries to use the same vertex order?
