Seaborn Pointplot xticks=Days do not appear in correct order, how to change it

Question

My xticks of Days (categorical data from data frame) doesn't appear in correct order, how to change it?

plt.figure(figsize=(13,6))
houragg = pd.DataFrame(df.groupby(['Day','Seasons'])['bike_count'].mean()).reset_index()
sns.pointplot(data=houragg,x=houragg['Day'],
              y=houragg['bike_count'],
              scale = 0.3,
              hue=houragg['Seasons']).set(title='Count by Day and Seasons')

plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.02, 1), loc='upper left', borderaxespad=0)

here is the plot:

You can set the order parameter of seaborn.pointplot:

from calendar import day_name
order = list(day_name)
# ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']

sns.pointplot(data=houragg, x=houragg['Day'], order=order,
              y=houragg['bike_count'],
              scale = 0.3,
              hue=houragg['Seasons']).set(title='Count by Day and Seasons')

Alternatively, use an ordered Categorical with pandas.Categorical:

cat = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday',
       'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']
houragg['Day'] = pd.Categorical(houragg['Day'], categories=cat, ordered=True)
