Description
While developing a plugin I have been using creating lines between two points with QgsLineString(). The documentation states that it can be constructed from two points as in QgsLineString(QgsPoint1, QgsPoint2), or from arrays of coordinates as in QgsLineString([x1, y1], [x2, y2]).
I was getting unexpected results until I realized that coordinated get mixed up somewhere in the process. The only way in which I was able to create the expected results is if I used QgsLineString([x1, x2], [y1, y2]).
In short:
Expected = QgsLineString([x1, y1], [x2, y2])
Actual = QgsLineString([x1, x2], [y1, y2])

This is the signature you are calling by passing two arrays:
QgsLineString(x: Iterable[float], y: Iterable[float], z: Iterable[float] = [], m: Iterable[float] = [])
Construct a linestring from arrays of coordinates. If the z or m
arrays are non-empty then the resultant linestring will have
z and m types accordingly.

Can you point the place in the documentation where arrays of coordinates as in QgsLineString([x1, y1], [x2, y2]) is mentioned, please? Thanks.
