Bar plot's category_orders not work, no matter if facet_col used
Hi This issue is linked to still opened issue #3033 and closed issue #2084. I found a note in below which said bug had been fixed. but in my verion 5.53, it happen again. @emmanuelle not sure if i misunderstand the info below:
added this to the v4.5.0 milestone on 16 Jan 2020
https://community.plotly.com/t/python-plotly-express-facet-col-facet-row-order-categories/33693 https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/2084
any alternative ways? or could fix it again.
Thanks!

Source code and demo data are here:
dt = pd.read_csv('e:/demo.csv')
# if use facet_col, category_orders will be not effected. just buy maybe first read value in x axes. not by high to low or low to high
# if not use facet_col, only one plot, no problem.
# also test without facet_col, the category_orders setting seems no influence on plot.
cat_ord = dt.groupby(by='area').agg({'numbers':'sum'}).sort_values('numbers', ascending=True).index
fig = px.bar(dt.reset_index(), x='area', y='numbers', color='date',
facet_col='type',
category_orders={cat_ord.name:cat_ord.to_list()},
barmode='stack',
).update_xaxes(categoryorder='total descending')
fig.update_layout(height=500, width=1200, legend_traceorder="reversed")
fig.show()

I'm experiencing the same issue on Plotly 5.7.0
Hello. It doesn' work for me either '5.18.0'
fig = px.bar(x=bins, y=counts, labels={'x':'Age', 'y':'count'})
fig.update_xaxes(categoryorder="total descending")
fig.show()
In ascending order :(
hi @estelle-gallardo can you please provide the whole code and data as a minimal reproducible example? I'd like to reproduce the same error you get on my computer.
Hi - we are tidying up stale issues and PRs in Plotly's public repositories so that we can focus on things that are still important to our community. Since this one has been sitting for a while, I'm going to close it; if it is still a concern, please add a comment letting us know what recent version of our software you've checked it with so that I can reopen it and add it to our backlog. If you'd like to submit a PR, we'd be happy to prioritize a review, and if it's a request for tech support, please post in our community forum. Thank you - @gvwilson
Hello, sorry for the late reply. I didnt check the problem again as I found another solution. I think I provided you with the code for the problem but I don't have it any more as I changed it. Thank you for your kind help Regards
