Topic: xarray DataSet dimensions

Why are xarray Dataset dimensions not transposable? xarray.Dataset.transpose changes the dimension order for each array, but not for the dataset itself. I don't see any way to re-order dataset dimensions, which is sometimes desirable.

The dimension order for a dataset is meaningless because the DataArrays in a Dataset can have a different dimension order.

What are you trying to do?

Turns out that what I was trying can be accomplished using DataArray dimensions, but I still find it aesthetically unpleasing that when I transpose a Dataset to convert DataArray dimensions to have a certain order (Y,L,M,ncol), the Dataset dimensions won't necessarily reflect my preference (Y,L,ncol,M).
