Facet sort order not applied in presence of an aggregate #5366

Open

Description

The facet sort order works as expected with non-aggregated data (editor):

{
  "data": {"url": "data/cars.json"},
  "mark": "bar",
  "encoding": {
    "row": {
      "type": "nominal",
      "field": "Origin",
      "sort": ["Japan", "Europe", "USA"]
    },
    "x": {"type": "quantitative", "field": "Horsepower"}
  }
}

But if an aggregation is added to the x-axis, the order is no longer respected (editor):

{
  "data": {"url": "data/cars.json"},
  "mark": "bar",
  "encoding": {
    "row": {
      "type": "nominal",
      "field": "Origin",
      "sort": ["Japan", "Europe", "USA"]
    },
    "x": {"type": "quantitative", "field": "Horsepower", "aggregate": "mean"}
  }
}
