Question: `plot` doesn't respect list of points?

Trying to use plot to connect a series of points for illustrative purposes, but the functionality seems to have broken in 2024 or else I'm overlooking something. Related/unrelated: When I copy the related code from the cell and paste it into another application (like a browser) the list of points is reversed: e.g. `

plot({[-1, -2], [-1, 1], [-1, 6], [3, -2], [3, 6]}, x = -3 .. 4, y = -4 .. 10, style = line)` 

(That was literally me copy and pasting the relevant code from Maple into this form.)

The plot in question can be seen below. Also to note, if I leave off the last [3,-2] point, it will correctly plot the graph. It's ony when I add in that last point that I suddenly get the shape I do below.
