Categoryorder not working when specifying plot type

When using the category order parameter, no plot is generated if the plot type is specified in the plot_ly call:

p <- plotly::plot_ly(type = 'bar')
colNames <- names(iris)
colNames <- colNames[-which(colNames == 'Species')]

for(trace in colNames){
  p <- p %>% plotly::add_trace(data= iris, x = ~ Species, y = as.formula(paste0("~`", trace, "`")), name = trace)
}

p  %>% layout(xaxis = list(categoryorder='total descending'))

With the following warning, which I don't understand since I'm not combining discrete and non-discrete data in the same axis:

Warning message:
Can't display both discrete & non-discrete data on same axis 

If I specify the type in add_trace instead of the plot, then it works correctly and the warning is gone:

p <- plotly::plot_ly()
colNames <- names(df)
colNames <- colNames[-which(colNames == 'Species')]

for(trace in colNames){
  p <- p %>% plotly::add_trace(type = 'bar', data= iris, x = ~ Species, y = as.formula(paste0("~`", trace, "`")), name = trace)
}

p %>% layout(xaxis = list(categoryorder='total descending'))

Maybe this is the intended behavior? If so, why does specifying the type in the traces works and not in the plot? The warning seems unclear to me.

Commencez par exécuter la reproduction R fournie avec iris et comparez plot_ly(type = 'bar') à add_trace(type = 'bar'). Suivez la manière dont plot_ly et add_trace propagent le type et dont layout(xaxis = list(categoryorder = 'total descending')) traite les traces obtenues. Le travail est terminé lorsque la reproduction n’émet plus l’avertissement et que l’ordre des catégories fonctionne de manière cohérente.
