Time order of snow depth water equivalent for 2025 in Carra (West)

Datasets and Usage C3S - Datasets and Usage
1

I am using Carra West data and was updating my files for the year 2025.

I noticed that the snow water equivalent file seems to have changed when new data was added to it.

The gribfile (I am asking for analysis all data for the year) I get has a bizzare time ordering.

It starts with february and ends with march with other months irregularly orderd in between.

Files I picked earlier this year did not have this issue.
