Rbokeh barplot x-axis reordered by y-axis value about rbokeh

[Atrebas]

Question 1:
You have to pass the order explicitly in xlim. See #206.

library(rbokeh)
# total yield per variety
figure(xlim = levels(lattice::barley$variety)) %>%
  ly_bar(variety, yield, data = lattice::barley, hover = TRUE) %>%
  theme_axis("x", major_label_orientation = 90)

Question 2:
Maybe a problem of version. I don't have the issue with rbokeh_0.5.0.

I thought my answer would be enough to guide you. Instead of using the levels as above, you just have to provide the order you want. How to compute this order is a general R question.
Below is an an example, using data.table for convenience.

library(data.table)
library(rbokeh)

barley    <- setDT(lattice::barley)
varieties <- barley[, sum(yield), by = variety][
                    order(-V1), as.character(variety)]

# total yield per variety
figure(xlim = varieties) %>%
  ly_bar(variety, yield, data = barley, hover = TRUE) %>%
  theme_axis("x", major_label_orientation = 90)

Thank you Atrebas, your comment was helpful, but what I want is to order x axis by y axis value in decreasing order.
For example, the first x axis data should be Trebi, Wisconsin No.38, because they have the greatest yield, and next No.457, and No.462 ...... and so on, like below

How can I do this?

Thank you Atrebas, I've got a solution thanks to your help.
I simply converted columns to factors and set it xlim.
Now it works well!
