@Zac-HD there's actually another way to get the indexing behaviour you wanted with the current API:

python colors = "blue green red".split() das = [xr.DataArray(np.random.random((2, 2)), dims="x y".split(), coords={"band": k}) for k in colors] xr.concat(das, dim="band").plot.imshow(col="band") Here instead of using the name attribute to label each band I've used a scalar coordinate called "band", so that when you concat along "band" it will just stack along that coordinate.

This never touches the names so actually gives the desired output without the need for #2792: 

{
    "total_count": 0,
    "+1": 0,
    "-1": 0,
    "laugh": 0,
    "hooray": 0,
    "confused": 0,
    "heart": 0,
    "rocket": 0,
    "eyes": 0
}
