+1 for a check_dim_order option to .equals, assert_equal that can be disabled. (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.
