Description
I want to use icicle chart to show function call stacks, the MWE is as the following
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import plotly.express as px
data = np.array(
[
["main", "A-Func", None, 1],
["main", "C-Func", "sub1", 1],
["main", "C-Func", "sub2", 1],
["main", "B-Func", None, 1],
["main", "D-func", "sub1", 1],
["main", "D-func", "sub2", 1],
["main", "D-func", "sub3", 1],
]
)
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Level0', 'Level1', 'Level2', 'Weight'])
fig = px.icicle(df, path=['Level0', 'Level1', 'Level2'], values='Weight')
fig.update_traces(root_color="lightblue")
fig.show()
This is yielding a graph sorted by both Weight and Name
If I added sort parameter
fig.update_traces(root_color="lightblue", sort=False)
The weight is not sorted, however the name are still sorted
What I want to achieve is the nature order of these function calls as I create the numpy object
main
|
+--- A-Func
|
+--- C-Func
| |
| +--- sub1
| |
| +--- sub2
|
+--- B-Func
|
+--- D-Func
|
+--- sub1
|
+--- sub2
|
+--- sub3
Is there some option I can use to achieve this?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the pandas and NumPy MWE using plotly.express.icicle and update_traces(sort=False). Start by tracing how the icicle chart handles sorting and hierarchy order; the work is done when an option preserves the input order for function calls and their children without weight or name sorting, with coverage for the shown example.
