In mel is it possible to create a linear curve from selected vertices?

[malcolm_341]

Hi, I'd like to create a curve from selected vertices, the problem is Maya doesn't store the selection order for the vert array so the curve gets created with points in the wrong order and the curve gets wonky. Is there a solution for this, or is there a hack to get the vert array to sort in the order you selected it?

 Turn on "ordered selection" in your prefs and use the -os flag with your ls

Thanks a lot, that's what I needed.
