Dear Plotly community,

While developing one my app I have encountered some odd behavior using the sunburst with Plotly express. This behavior happens when there is a label beginning with a capital letter in a sample dataframe. As two pictures are worth a thousand words :

**"Normal" behavior :**

**"Abnormal" behavior :**

Am I missing something right here ? Thanks for your help !

Cheers 🙂
