// A Landsat 8 TOA image collection (2 months of images at a specific point).
var col = ee.ImageCollection('LANDSAT/LC08/C02/T1_TOA')
.filterBounds(ee.Geometry.Point(-90.70, 34.71))
.filterDate('2020-07-01', '2020-09-01')
.select('B[4-5]'); // Get NIR and SWIR1 bands only.
print('Collection', col);
// Convert the image collection to a single multi-band image. Note that image ID
// ('system:index') is prepended to band names to delineate the source images.
var img = col.toBands();
print('Collection to bands', img);
// Band order is determined by collection order. Here, the collection is
// sorted in descending order of the date of observation (reverse of previous).
var bandOrder = col.sort('DATE_ACQUIRED', false).toBands();
print('Customized band order', bandOrder);
