Bug summary

When passing the "x" as a positional argument to the scatterplot function, it unexpectedly reorders the actual input data.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(1)

x = np.random.uniform(-5, 5, 50)
y = np.random.uniform(-5, 5, 50)
z = np.random.uniform(-5, 5, 50)

ax = plt.subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.scatter(x,y,z, "x", color="r", label="Target")
ax.scatter(x,y,z, "^", color="b", label="Target")

Actual outcome
