X-axis in plot not following dataframe order

[robroc]

I grouped a dataframe's datatime column to weekly periods, and when plotted, the x-axis doesn't follow chronologically, even if the dataframe in sorted properly:

Here's the relevant code in case it's helpful:

to_plot = (df.groupby(['colA', df.ad_delivery_start_time.dt.to_period('W').astype(str)])
  .size()
  .reset_index(name='ads')
  .sort_values('ad_delivery_start_time')
)

px.line(to_plot, x='ad_delivery_start_time', y='ads', color = 'colA', height=600)

Hi @robroc is there any chance you could share here a minimal dataset reproducing the issue? It would help us a lot for finding a fix :-).

Hi @emmanuelle. Apologies, I didn't see your response until now.

Funny enough, I can't repeat the error either. Maybe it got fixed in an update. Here's some sample data, but it seems to be ordering the x-axis properly now.

Replace colA with type in my code.

Closing as "not reproducible" for now, but please re-open if this ever occurs again with the latest version of plotly.
