That makes sense. I agree that this is ultimately a netCDF4 limitation.

So moving forward, we could one or more of the following: 1. Fix this in netCDF4, allowing unsorted integer arrays as indexers. 2. Check in isel that the indexer is valid when the data is still sitting on disk. Raise an IndexError in the cases that will fail later on. 3. Ugly: In cases where isel is provided with unsorted integer arrays, we could force the data to be loaded. 4. Uglier: Somehow store the integer array mapping in xray, using netCDF4 as is, and returning a view after the data has been loaded.

In my view, the current behavior of isel is failing silently and this is not what we want.
