Description
Hi, I don't know why but the update_yaxes with category_orders as parameters is not working after using the facet_col parameters in the plotly express bar plots.
px.bar(pe_final, x='Count', y='index',
color='Count', color_continuous_scale=px.colors.sequential.dense,
orientation='h',
text=pe_final['Count'].astype('str') + '<br>'+pe_final['Perc'].astype('str')).update_yaxes(categoryorder="total ascending")
This is when not using the facet col
px.bar(pe_final, x='Count', y='index',
facet_col='Type',
color='Count', color_continuous_scale=px.colors.sequential.dense,
orientation='h',
text=pe_final['Count'].astype('str') + '<br>'+pe_final['Perc'].astype('str')).update_yaxes(categoryorder="total ascending")
This is when using the facet col, and my category orders did not work.

Research direction
Reproduce the two Plotly Express bar-plot examples, comparing behavior with and without facet_col='Type' and categoryorder='total ascending'. Start by tracing the update_yaxes category-order handling for faceted figures and add a regression test for the shown case. Done means the faceted plot applies the requested category order consistently.
