We already use YZX ordering (idx = X + Z * Width + Y * Width * Width)
How would you do chunksparsing with any other ordering? Will you apply the ordering per-section? This would cause quite a lot of fragmentation and it will be almost impossible to traverse the chunk in the in-memory order for any code that doesn't have access to the internal representation of cChunkData.
Some pieces of the MCS code are already optimized for the current ordering, mostly this means that their 3D loops are organized so that the blocks in memory are traversed sequentially.
