Quick brain-dump:

There was a conversation a while ago to allow users to pick the dimension of the data to plot (I think the syntax was something like ```coords=('dim1', 'time')```) I don't necessarily like the proposal, but I do think the functionality would be useful. An extension to this capability that I have thought of a couple of times would be to allow users to specify "data" in some way as one of the plot axis. Using this same clunky syntax that might look like ```coords=('data', 'time')```. 
Having such a capability would allow one to define the coordinate order of the plot without the need for the boolean keyword argument.
