Change Points Order

This function will change points order for active paths. Point order is important for Wrap and De-perspective functions: they define how warped image is going to be rotated in perspective. Points usually go clock-wise, from top left corner to bottom-left: first point is associated with top left corner of a layer, second — with top right corner, third is bottom right point and fourth is bottom left.
