Description

The output that I get from ggplot is

violim+boxplot-ggplot2

and from plotly is

violin+boxplot_plotly

With plotly, the boxplot is behind the violim chart.

The minimal working example that create the above images:

library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)

figure2b <-
  iris |>
  ggplot(aes(x=Species, y=Petal.Length)) +
  geom_violin(aes(fill=Species)) +
  geom_boxplot(width = 0.05) +
  labs(
    title='Iris',
    x="Species",
    y="Petal length",
  )

figure2b_plotly <- ggplotly(figure2b)

Research direction

Start by running the minimal R example with ggplot2 and plotly, then compare the converted layer order with the two provided images. The issue is done when the plotly output places the boxplot in front of the violin chart, matching the ggplot output.
