A smaller repro:

```python import numpy as np import xarray as xr

xr.DataArray(np.arange(5), dims="x", coords={"x": [2, 1, 0, 3, 5]})

da.sel(x=slice(2, 3))

```

Returns: <xarray.DataArray (x: 4)> array([0, 1, 2, 3]) Coordinates: * x (x) int64 2 4 5 3

python da.sel(x=[2, 3]) Returns <xarray.DataArray (x: 2)> array([0, 3]) Coordinates: * x (x) int64 2 3

Yes, good point. What might be possible is to warn if selecting with a slice and the index is not monotonic increasing or decreasing.
