Description

Using Curio Seeker, I see a lot of low or negative beads obscuring the positive signal when plotting genes using spatial_scatter.

Can a sort_order boolean be added as is the case for Scanpy' pl.scatter https://scanpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/generated/scanpy.pl.scatter.html ?

Research direction

Start at the pl.spatial_scatter entry point and compare its behavior with Scanpy's pl.scatter documentation, especially the sort_order option. Confirm how ordering should affect low or negative beads relative to positive signal, then add coverage showing the boolean changes the plotted order.
