No way to make legend order exactly match bar order in relative stacked bar plot

Sometimes we want to plot negative values below x axis in a stacked bar plot. This can be done with barmode as "relative".

Further, I want to make the legend order exactly match the bar order in plot. However the positive bars stack from middle to top, negative bars stack from middle to down, thus no matter how I arrange the variable levels, there is no way to make the legend order exactly match bar order.

library(plotly)
library(data.table)

set.seed(42)
dt_test <- data.table(x = rep(1:5, each = 6), variable = rep(letters[1:6], 5), value = sample(10:40, 30))
dt_test[variable %in% letters[3:5], value := -value]

dt_test[, variable := factor(variable, levels = c("c", "d", "e", "a", "b", "f"))]

plot_ly(dt_test) %>% 
  add_bars(x = ~x, y = ~value, color = ~variable) %>%
  layout(barmode = 'relative', legend = list(traceorder = "reversed"))

I'm not sure how this can be done, unless we

• change the stack order in negative part as bottom up
• or can arrange legend order freely without changing bar stack order

Start by reproducing the supplied R example with plot_ly(), add_bars(), barmode = "relative", and the current legend setting. Investigate whether the requested behavior can be supported for negative and positive stacks; done means the legend order exactly matches the visible bar order, or the limitation and chosen ordering behavior are documented.
