(core) Fix pie chart sectors's ordering issue.

Summary:
By default, plotly's pie chart sort lables by values.

This is iconsistent with how bar charts work and especially annoying
in case of a linked chart because values can change when user navigate
the linked table which causes colors (and display order) of each label
to change. Making it hard to keep track values.

Test Plan: Adds a new test case.
