Grouped bar chart — how to make sns respect order

Question

I have a multilevel data frame, sorted by values on level=1

I want to make a grouped bar plot. When I do

ax = sns.barplot(ax=ax, x="level0", y="values",
             hue="level1", data=data)

Sns decides to sort index by level1.

Is there a way to make sns respect the order of rows when making grouped bar plots?

As per the comment from @ImportanceOfBeingErnest, you can use the order and hue_order parameters to control in which order the bars appear along the x-axis.
