The question is not very clear, but I would try to provide a better approach to deal with such situations.

Since waypoints are specified within the waypoints parameters and can consist of one or more address, I would recommend using a name instead of the geocoordinates separated by pipe (|). This would indeed reduce the risk of getting faulty results.

On the top of it you can put optimize:true as the first argument within the waypoints parameter to allow the Directions service to optimize the provided route by rearranging the waypoints in a more efficient order.

Here is an example.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Adelaide,SA&destination=Adelaide,SA&waypoints=optimize:true|Barossa+Valley,SA|Clare,SA|Connawarra,SA|McLaren+Vale,SA&key=API_KEY

For more details please refer to this official Google documentation.

Solution 2:

Google maps doesn't support this feature yet and there are some requests to add it but there is another way to perform this with here maps.
