When plotting a “stacked histogram”, I would like the “stack order” to be the same as the legend order - `Fair` (first / bottom) and `Ideal` (last / top) - so that the colors are in order from light to dark. Like in [this](https://seaborn.pydata.org/examples/histogram_stacked.html) example.

Any idea how to do that? My code so far:

```julia
using CSV, DataFrames, Gadfly

download("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/seaborn-data/master/diamonds.csv", "diamonds.csv")
diamonds = DataFrame(CSV.File("diamonds.csv"))

palette = ["#9D95C2", "#B4ADCF", "#C9C4DB", "#DFDCE9", "#F5F3F4"]

plot(
    diamonds, 
    x = :price, 
    color = :cut, 
    Geom.histogram(bincount=50), 
    Scale.x_log10, 
    Scale.color_discrete_manual(palette..., order = [1, 2, 4, 3, 5]), 
    Theme(
        background_color = "white", 
        bar_highlight = color("black")
    ), 
)

```
