This is similar to issue #1503, but specifically deals with requiring the correct order of dimensions for plotting 2d coordinates. An example of the issue is:

```

create an example dataset

dates = pd.date_range('2000-01-01', '2001-12-31', name='time') times = dates - dates[0]

x = np.linspace(0, 10, 101)

h = np.linspace(3, 7, 101) s = np.linspace(0, 1, 51) z = s[:, np.newaxis] * h[np.newaxis, :]

data = (np.sin(x) * np.cos(z)) * np.cos(np.asarray(times.days[:, np.newaxis, np.newaxis]))

create an xarray dataset

ds = xr.Dataset({'data': (('time', 's', 'x'), data)}, {'time':dates, 'x':x, 's':s, 'z':(('s', 'x'), z)}) ds.coords['zt'] = ds.z.transpose() `` plotting withzandzt` should give the same results, since the dimensions are clearly labeled and other than the order of the dimensions, they are exactly the same.

This works: ds.data[0].plot(x='x', y='z')

This does not: ds.data[0].plot(x='x', y='zt')

Broadcasting, e.g., does not give a similar error. Specifically, this is true: np.allclose((ds.data * ds.zt).values, (ds.data * ds.z).values)
