Description

When a grouping variable is not completely categorical, the order of the variable is alphabetical / ascending. This bug only affects mix variables, and is known. Will/would be corrected later

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the dataset visualize function to understand how it handles mix variables when used as grouping variable, and determine why the order becomes alphabetical/ascending when the variable is not completely categorical.
