Support factor variables for x and/or y when numeric variable is used to set color.
See #1883 and also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45217616/colors-in-plotly-range-not-meaningful-for-factors. The proposed workaround to convert to character before plotting does not honour the order of the factor levels and hence is only a partial solution.
Code can be tested e.g. via:
plot_ly(iris, y = ~Sepal.Width, x = ~Species, color = ~Sepal.Length, type = 'scatter', mode = 'markers')
