Research direction

Start with the linked section, “Alignment: putting data on the same grid,” and review how it currently explains align/broadcast behavior. Update the tutorial to explain that dimension order does not matter, then verify the section clearly covers this concept.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm not sure it does so currently.

It's an important concept, so we should cover it.
