Description

Originally reported by: astrofrog (Bitbucket: astrofrog, GitHub: astrofrog)

The load_octree currently makes assumptions about how to map the 1-d array of quantities into three dimensions. I think it varies fastest along z, then along y, then along x. It would be nice to be able to specify this order using an argument that could be set to either e.g. xyz or zyx.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an optional argument `order` for `load octree` that accepts 'xyz' or 'zyx' to specify the mapping order. Modify the existing logic to respect this parameter.
