Plotly in R : setting ranges on axis with “reversed” autorange

I have a plotly graph in R with a reversed x-axis. I want to be able
to play with its ranges. I know it is normal that it does not work because by design, setting
"range" turns “autorange” to “FALSE”. https://plot.ly/r/reference/#layout-xaxis-range

Setting xaxis = list(range = c(5,3) does not work either. Still the full x-axis.

But I STILL need to modify the ranges of this reversed axes. Any workarounds, anyone?

Greetings

library(plotly)
s <- seq(1, 8)
plot_ly(x = s, y = s) %>%
  add_trace(y = rev(s)) %>%
  layout(
     xaxis = list(range = c(3,5), autorange="reversed"), 
     yaxis = list(range = c(2, 5))

If I do this, it seems to work

library(plotly)

s <- seq(1, 8)
plot_ly(x = s, y = s) %>%
  add_trace(y = rev(s)) %>%
  layout(
    xaxis = list(range = c(6, 2), autorange = F, autorange="reversed"), 
    yaxis = list(range = c(2, 5)))

Thanks. Yes.

This also works

library(plotly)
s <- seq(1, 8)
plot_ly(x = s, y = s) %>%
  add_trace(y = rev(s)) %>%
  layout(
    xaxis = list(range = c(6, 2)), 
    yaxis = list(range = c(2, 5)))

I cannot see what has changed. That seems is not reversed anymore
