Why does this happen? **What happened**: I combined several user defined chunked netcdf data (900 chunks) into one dataset. For this I used the default combine_by_coords in ds.open_mf_dataset(). My result was a tilted grid index - upper left corner i=0, j=1167. Beforehand I calculated some indices on these chunks and combined them with the default combine='by_coords' in ds.open_mf_dataset() but also tested the combine='nested' separately. The ones where I used default combine='by_coords' for all functions returned the tilted index. The ones where I used combine='nested' beforehand and then default combine='by_coords' returned the correct index. **What you expected to happen**: No tilted index. **Minimal Complete Verifiable Example**: ```python ##returning wrong index #calculating some climatic indices on numbered chunks and combined them to one ds per chunk with xr.open_mfdataset(pathtofile+'annual*'+chunknumber+'.nc', chunks=-1, parallel=True, engine='h5netcdf') as ds: ds.to_netcdf(pathtofile, format=""NETCDF4_CLASSIC"", engine=""netcdf4"") ##combining all with xr.open_mfdataset(pathtofile+'climateAnnual*.nc', chunks=-1, parallel=True, engine='h5netcd') as ds: ds.to_netcdf(pathtofile, format=""NETCDF4_CLASSIC"", engine=""netcdf4"") ################################################## ##returning correct index #calculating some climatic indices on numbered chunks and combined them to one ds per chunk with xr.open_mfdataset(pathtofile+'annual*'+chunknumber+'.nc', chunks=-1, parallel=True, engine='h5netcdf', combine='nested') as ds: ds.to_netcdf(pathtofile, format=""NETCDF4_CLASSIC"", engine=""netcdf4"") ##combining all with xr.open_mfdataset(pathtofile+'climateAnnual*.nc', chunks=-1, parallel=True, engine='h5netcd') as ds: ds.to_netcdf(pathtofile, format=""NETCDF4_CLASSIC"", engine=""netcdf4"") ``` **Anything else we need to know?**: **Environment**: Python 3.7.4
