sure, just try running `python -m pytest --doctest-modules xarray --ignore xarray/tests`. For me at least (with the environment created by `py38.yml`), `xarray.core.common.DataWithCoords.pipe`, `xarray.core.groupby.GroupBy.quantile` and `xarray.core.dataset.Dataset.filter_by_attrs` pass or fail at random: in one run they pass, in the next they fail because a different ordering was used for the coordinates (see also #4408).

> I think users find it a little more intuitive to preserve the order of dict keys.

Not sure if that's evidence against this (maybe we need to rearrange the `repr` to really fix it), but in #4072 someone confused the order of the printed coordinates with the order of the dimensions. I'd think it's much easier to tell people that these are alphabetically sorted, no matter what they do, so they shouldn't try to read the dimension order from the coordinates (same with the dimension summary).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,694448177
