Serious point: if you find a bug or issue or what-have-you in any editor,
you need to actually tell us about it rather than just mithering unhappily.

I honestly didn't know that the relation ordering issue was the case until
last week when Frederik pointed it out on this list. I'm now told there'd
been some prior discussion of it on talk-de but that doesn't really help a
whole load. I'm very happy to fix the bug (although I don't use ordered
relations myself, nor in fact did I write Potlatch's excellent relations
code) but I do need to know about it first!

The place to submit bugs is http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ . If you don't
know that - "trac" is a bit of an obscure name, after all - then you can
just search for 'Bugs' on the wiki and it'll direct you to the right place.

It takes less time to submit a trac ticket than to write a grumbling e-mail,
it's more fun, and it gets you somewhere. We're a _collaborative_ project,
but that only works if you collaborate!

cheers
Richard
fervently hoping that the JOSM developers will similarly fix the issue which
keeps annihilating poor old NCN4 ;)
