How to make plotly “scatter3d” respect order of factor levels in R

Consider this example, in which the order of levels is explicitly set:

library(plotly)

iris$sp <- factor(iris$Species, c("versicolor", "setosa", "virginica"))

A 2D scatter plot respects the order of factor levels:

plot_ly(data = iris,

        x = ~sp, 

        y = ~Sepal.Width,

        type = "scatter",

        mode = "markers",

        marker = list(opacity = 0.6, size = 4))

enter image description here

And a 3D scatter plot doesn't:

plot_ly(data = iris,

        x = ~sp, 

        y = ~Sepal.Length,

        z = ~Sepal.Width,

        type = "scatter3d",

        mode = "markers",

        marker = list(opacity = 0.6, size = 4))

enter image description here

Question: How to make plotly "scatter3d" respect the order of factor levels in R?

Now it seems that the levels are sorted as strings in the 3D plot.
Is it a bug? Or was it made on purpose?
