reorder the axes within the figure

[mnky9800n]

Currently the axes are ordered from low to high from top to bottom respectively. Is there a way to reverse this order? Or specify a custom order?

if you reverse data on line 390:

for i, group in enumerate(data[::-1]):

And reverse labels on line 444:

_setup_axis(a, global_x_range, col_name=labels[::-1][i], grid=ygrid)

It will reverse the order. But this seems a bit hacky, maybe there is a better way to do it?

I think the easiest way would be to edit the input data so that they will be displayed in the order you want, rather than adding an option/changing the code.

How you do it would depend on the kind of object you are passing -- for a (non-grouped) dataframe, the order is given by the order of the columns, so you would need to reorder the columns as you like:

fig, axes = joypy.joyplot(iris)

rev = iris[iris.columns[::-1]]
fig, axes = joypy.joyplot(rev)

For grouped dataframes, rather than using the by argument):

fig, axes = joypy.joyplot(iris, by="Name")

the simplest way is to pass a grouped dataframe with the groups in the desired order. This can be done by first reordering the values in the dataframe, and then grouping with sort=False:

ordered = iris.sort_values("Name", ascending=False)
grouped = ordered.groupby("Name", sort=False)
fig, axes = joypy.joyplot(grouped)
