```python
import numpy as np
import xarray as xr
xr.DataArray(np.arange(5), dims=""x"", coords={""x"": [2, 1, 0, 3, 5]})
da.sel(x=slice(2, 3))
```
Returns:
```
array([0, 1, 2, 3])
Coordinates:
* x (x) int64 2 4 5 3
```
```python
da.sel(x=[2, 3])
```
Returns
```
array([0, 3])
Coordinates:
* x (x) int64 2 3
```

Yes, good point. What might be possible is to warn if selecting with a slice and the index is not monotonic increasing or decreasing.
