238317455 MDU6SXNzdWUyMzgzMTc0NTU= 1465 More Robust Implementation of `slice` 11929622 closed 0     5 2017-06-24T13:30:03Z 2019-04-10T22:16:34Z 2019-04-10T22:16:34Z NONE      

Currently, only one of the two operations: ds.sel(lon = slice(X0, X1)) and ds.sel(lon = slice(X1, X0)) works; the other will give a data array (or dataset) with zero values. This can be a difficulty when working with different data sets which have different indexing methods.

It would be great to have slice implemented, at least in the context of sel, to check whether the index of ds is increasing or decreasing, and then take the min and max of X0 and X1 accordingly.
