When placing curved rails, if we try to rotate they follow that order:

This always gives me a headache, because of the weird pattern. See how random these positions are:

Notice that sequential pieces cannot even connect to each other. For example, 1 can never connect to 2. I always have to press R many times before the desired piece comes.
Why isn't the rotiation order more like that?

It would make it a lot easier to quickly place curves or rings.
Bonus request: Shift+R should rotate pieces counterclockwise (not only rails but all items on the game).
