Description

The tooltip argument to ggplotly does not seem to change the order of tooltips. For example with

ggiris <- qplot(Petal.Width, Sepal.Length, data = iris, color = Species)
ggplotly(ggiris, tooltip = c("y", "x", "colour"))

I see a tooltip with order Species, Petal.Width, Sepal.Length, i.e. color, x, y.

Using ggplot 2.2.1 and plotly 4.5.6 with R 3.3.2 on Mac OS X.
