Bug: texttemplate and hovertemplate show inconsistent values when categoryarray is used in Heatmap

Reproduce el problema con el ejemplo mínimo de Python usando Plotly 6.3.1, incluido el yaxis categoryarray invertido. Rastrea cómo se reasignan heatmap cell values, texttemplate, hovertemplate y el contraste de texto automático después de ordenar las categorías; se considera terminado cuando los valores mostrados y los colores del texto siguen alineados con las celdas reposicionadas.

Minimal working example:

import plotly.graph_objects as go

z = [
    [1, None, 30, 50, 1],
    [20, 1, 60, 80, 30],
    [30, 60, 1, -10, 20]
]
x = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday']
y = ['Morning', 'Afternoon', 'Evening']

fig = go.Figure(
    data=go.Heatmap(
        z=z,
        x=x,
        y=y,
        text=z,
        texttemplate='%{x}<br>%{y}<br>%{text}',
        hovertemplate='%{x}<br>%{y}<br>%{text}<extra></extra>',
    )
)

# Reverse y-axis order
fig.update_layout(yaxis={'categoryarray': y[::-1]})
fig.show()

Expected behavior:

• When the yaxis.categoryarray is reversed, both the heatmap cells and the text (%{text}) / hover labels should display the correctly corresponding values from z.

Actual behavior:

• The axis ordering (x, y) updates correctly.

• The visual placement of heatmap cells updates correctly.

• However, %{text} in hovertemplate still correspond to the original unsorted order of z.

• This leads to mismatched hover and text values after sorting by category.

Example:

After reversing the y axis, the heatmap looks right, but hovering over a cell labeled "Morning / Monday" still shows the value corresponding to "Evening / Monday" from the original order.

Additional note (text color rendering issue)

I also noticed that the text color changes incorrectly after sorting:

In the unsorted heatmap, cells like “Thursday / Evening” show white text on a dark blue background, which is legible and consistent.

After applying the categoryarray sort, the same cell (now visually repositioned) starts showing almost black text on the same dark background, making it nearly invisible.

This suggests that the automatic contrast adjustment for text color (based on cell background) may not update properly after the category sorting.
