    I can't imagine why the default assumption would be that order doesn't matter, but - yes, it does. It's a series of mouse positions for drawing a shape, in case that matters as well.

      Nothing matters other than what is in the spec. If the spec doesn't mention the order then ipso facto the order doesn't matter.
