Two things are still bothering me though:
- `ds['foo'].to_dataframe()` and `ds[['foo']].to_dataframe()` might have different results
- if we want to have a specific order we have to apply `reorder_levels` and `sort_index` which can be quite expensive.

For the first point I don't think anything should be done, it's a special case and even if it could be easily tested it might be ugly.
For the second point I would not change anything to the way the order is defined now, it's consistent and easily predictable.
Instead I would add an additional optional parameter to `to_dataframe()` (the one from `_to_dataframe(ordered_dims)`) to allow the user to get the order he wants.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,347895055
