I made a feature request because of Michaël's suggestion.
HORAE-plugin is very specific tools and source data must follow a more or less
fixed schema. Better existing tool for converting points into line is the
Sextante tool "points to line" but it supports only the basic unsorted option.
Myself I have been using PostGIS and Spatialite for this purpose. They are good
and flexible but desctop program would be good sometimes for experimenting and
visual quality check.
I just noticed that QGIS has a tool that supports all that I wrote into the
specification document and also an option to use "group by" that I was not
thinking of. See the attached screen capture.

The new tool should build a linestring from the points from a layer. Points
should be added as vertices to the linestring in the same order than they
appear in data, or sorted by a selected attribute. More details in the
attachments.
