don't use the Coordinates section to check the order. Dataset objects may have multiple data variables (each with a possibly different order of dimensions) so for displaying it needs to define some kind of order.

What you want to compare is the order of dimensions referenced by a variable: <xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (time: 1, x: 10, y: 10) Coordinates: * time (time) int64 0 * y (y) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * x (x) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Data variables: data (time, y, x) bool False False False False ... False False False ^^^^^^^^^^^^ and you will notice that the order does not change.

To make this less confusing, maybe we should always sort the coordinates when displaying them? I'm guessing that right now they are displayed in the order they were added to the coordinates.
