(Ideally I think the default would be **not** to check dim order, but that ship has sailed now).

Or failing that, it would at least be nice to have `xarray.testing.assert_equal_modulo_dim_order` etc. When writing tests I usually don't care about dimension order and it's frustrating to have to manually do e.g.
`xarray.testing.assert_allclose(a, b.transpose(a.dims))`.

As pointed out, most of the xarray API is dimension-order-invariant and so it's odd to have no supported way to do comparisons in a dimension-order-invariant way.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,977544678
