First, thanks for making the complexheatmap package for python users.
I am using the DotClustermapPlotter to make a dotplot with annotations for rows and columns. I want to specify the order for teh annotation of the columns.
I see that class(AnnotationBase) has a [reorder](https://dingwb.github.io/PyComplexHeatmap/build/html/PyComplexHeatmap.annotations.html#PyComplexHeatmap.annotations.AnnotationBase.reorder) function. It would be nice to see an example to reorder the values in column annotation.
For example ([provided here](https://dingwb.github.io/PyComplexHeatmap/build/html/notebooks/dotHeatmap.html#Visualize-up-to-five-dimension-data-using-DotClustermapPlotter)), if I want to change the order of the column such that I want Dataset 2 and then Dataset 1, how do I do that? Seems like this should be straight forward to do. Would appreciate your help.

plt.show()
```
