It took me a while to work out why there were so many unordered ways in 
areas I had been working.

I now keep the "display segment order numbers" permanently checked so that I 
can see these misordered ways.  But even so I still find myself forgetting 
to check their order before uploading to the server.

I have to say both the maplint layer at infomationfreeway.org, and the JOSM 
maplint plugin are very useful for identifying them.
