map of two cubes should use the axis names and does not depend on the axes position

Description
Currently, when I have two cubes of the same size with the same size, but different axis positions, the map of these two cubes would fail because we check for the actual axlist and not only for the content of every axis.
I can align the two cubes before with the following line:
julia> permutedims(cubeA, YAXArrays.Axes.findAxis.(caxes(cubeA), (cubeB,)))
I am wondering, whether we should align the axes of the cubes in the map function?
We could make this a keyword argument, so that this is only done, when the user explicitly asks for it.

Research direction
Start with the map function and compare how it checks the axes of two cubes; the issue identifies caxes, Axes.findAxis, and permutedims as the relevant entry points. Determine whether mapping should align axes by name regardless of position or expose that behavior as an explicit keyword, then verify mapping works for equal-sized cubes with differently ordered axes.
