Row-order and Figsize is not working in seaborn

plt.figure(figsize=(12,7))
sns.relplot(kind='line',data=merge_wrp,x='month_name',y='Amount_tran',hue='Product',
             errorbar=None,row_order=['April','May','June','July', 'August','September',
                                      'October','November','December','January', 'February','March'])
plt.xticks(rotation=50)
plt.show()

Solution

  • row_order and col_order don't refer to the x-or-y axis of one plot. It make sense if you use col and row parameters to draw more than one chart. In your case, you have to sort your dataframe first. It can be done with pd.CategoricalDType:

    months = ['April','May','June','July', 'August','September', 
          'October','November','December','January', 'February','March']
cat = pd.CategoricalDtype(months, ordered=True)

sns.relplot(data=merge_wrp.astype({'month_name': cat}),
            x='month_name', y='Amount_tran', hue='Product',
            kind='line', errorbar=None)

plt.xticks(rotation=50)
plt.show()
