I'm happy in principle to work on either feature, but when I've looked into contributing to xarray before, I've been a bit overwhelmed by complexity - I think I'm currently using a pretty small fragment of what it can do.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,568968607

But I'd like to present the axes in the 'real' memory order, from the largest stride to the smallest.

I appreciate that it shouldn't matter for program logic, but it can definitely matter for performance, and I know some users are going to use axes by position rather than by name, so I do consider it an important part of the API.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,568968607

Though I'd say that as Xarray has public APIs for accessing dimensions by position, changing how something like `.unstack()` orders them probably is a breaking change.

I'm providing an API for other people to access data as a DataArray, and I'd like to have the dimensions in the order that makes it C contiguous, as a hint about what kinds of operations will be efficient. I know some users also go 'what is this complicated thing?' and extract the numpy array from it, in which case the order is more important.

So another option that would work for me would be a separate method that rearranges the dimensions to the order that makes the array C contiguous.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,568968607
