Stop Selection Array from Sorting

[blakestone]

I use functions such as (polyop.getFaceSelection $) and it gives me an array of the selected faces however it's always sorted. Is there a way to access this information based on the order the user selected those faces?

Not easily, if at all, because those polyop.get[face | vert | edge]selection functions all return a bitArray which is, by its very nature, sorted. The equivalent set functions also expect a bitArray. I suspect the only way to do it would be a script (or plugin) which detects the order as the user selects them.
Unless anyone knows better (not beyond the realms of possibility ;))
