plot(p_before)

getGroupNames(object, grouping = "bayes_space")

object <- relevelGroups(object, grouping = "bayes_space", new_levels = c("1", "2", "3", "7", "6", "5", "4"))

getGroupNames(object, grouping = "bayes_space")

p_afterwards <- plotSurface(object, color_by = "bayes_space")

# different levels -> different order -> different color assignment
p_before + p_afterwards
