I agree that pcolormesh ultimately works with the mesh corners, but I am pretty sure passing coordinates of the same length also works.

> you'll probably have to sort the values beforehand too

True. But we can do it automatically with xarray because it has the coordinate information.

I am not sure there there is any circumstance where it would be preferable to plot the scrambled data. Is there some the problem with just adding something like the two lines a wrote above to `plot.pcolormesh`?
