Unanswered important question: Set longest side facing a street as "front"

[JafarNajafli]

This question was asked 3 years ago and has been viewed more than 3000 times to no avail. Many people who use CE including me have this issue and it needs to be addressed.  

Can someone from the team please have a look?

No, sorry, this is not possible yet.

You could use Shapes -> Compute First/Street Edges on the footprints, and then the street.front selector will work in comp().  This would let you know which sides face streets, but it won't tell you which side is the longest one facing a street.
