Seaborn Objects: Barplot bars order

[JanPalasek]

Hello. I found an inconsistency between SO (Seaborn Objects) and functional API.

When having a values sorted descendingly, SO puts the first value (as ordered in pandas df) to the bottom. This problem occurs only for horizontal bar chart.

SO

This works differently than in the functional API.

Functional API

Would it be possible to have the default set as in the functional API with an option to override it? This default would work better with value_counts, since people start looking at the plot from the top-left corner, so this is the place where we want them to show the "most important" category.

Not the developer of seaborn, but I believe scale can solve this problem.

(
    so.Plot(data=freq, x='name', y='index')
    .add(so.Bar())
    .scale(y=so.Nominal(order = ['A', 'B']))
)
