[I] ST_MakeValid changes the order of points in a polygon [sedona]

   I think that all polygons in OSM and other datasets are supposed to be 
ordered in such a way that the points in the polygon are listed in counter 
clockwise direction. 
   
   Here is an example. I gave it this polygon:
   POLYGON ((10.947076 45.9679118, 10.9471748 45.967871, 10.9472574 45.9679588, 
10.9471571 45.9680032, 10.947076 45.9679118))
   
   And asked it to apply ST_MakeValid on it and it gave me this:
   POLYGON ((10.947076 45.9679118, 10.9471571 45.9680032, 10.9472574 
45.9679588, 10.9471748 45.967871, 10.947076 45.9679118))
   
   Here is a picture of that polygon with the first (and last) node highlited.

   Here is a picture of that same polygon with the first and second point of 
the original polygon highlighted showing that the order indicates that it is 
counter-clockwise - This is correct!

   Here is a picture of that same polygon with the first and second point of 
the polygon that was created with ST_MakeValid highlighted showing that the 
order indicates that it is clockwise - This is Wrong!
