Research direction

Start by running the reproducible R example in the issue, including dplyr::arrange(), geom_ribbon(), and ggplotly(), and compare the result when x values repeat. Trace the geom_ribbon conversion entry point and determine the expected ordering; done means repeated x values render correctly without breaking the ribbon.
