I don't see the point of this. The whole problem was with the interpretation of A / B (C), if one should prioritize (B*C) or not. The way you wrote it, there was never any doubt that the result is 9.
I understand where you are coming from, but at the same time I am expressing that there is no interpretation of that priority.
Based on the order of operations, once we have the 6 / 2 (3), this translates to 6 / 2 * 3 (removing the parens), and thus the Order of Operations states we evaluate left to right. Within those rules, there is only 1 correct interpretation.
So I just googled to better understand my reasoning and came across this video with a good explaination. It talks about the historical references to treating the division symbol as 6 / ( 2 * 3) as some people are evaluating. But that interpretation is historical and stems off a different way of evaluation not common today (or at least the video states).
