The U.S. Copyright Office shows the first 19 episodes of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! were written and produced, and possibly intended to air, in a very different order than they actually aired. The United Kingdom and Canada aired the episodes in this order, however, the US chose to air them in a very different order.
This order of the episodes also resolves a continuity error that resulted from the United States airing, in which Shaggy says he'd never seen snow in "Be Cold, Scooby-Doo!", yet he had just seen it a few episodes before in "Scary Christmas." "Scary Christmas" was actually the episode written and produced right after "Be Cold, Scooby-Doo!," despite that "Scary Christmas" aired 14th in the US and "Be Cold, Scooby-Doo!" aired 19th. Here is the order that the U.S. Copyright Database lists for the first 19 episodes: 1. Mystery 101 2. Party Like It's 1899 3. Game of Chicken 4. Poodle Justice 5. Be Quiet Scooby-Doo 6. All Paws on Deck 7. Screama Donna 8. If You Can't Scooby-Doo the Time, Don't Scooby-Doo the Crime 9. Trading Chases 10. Kitchen Frightmare 11. Area 51 Adjacent 12. Grand Scam 13. Me, Myself and A.I. 14. Gremlin on a Plane 15. When There's a Will, There's a Wraith 16. Sorcerer Snack Scare (incorrect title listed - should be "Sorcerer Snacks Scare") 17. Saga of the Swamp Beast 18. Be Cold, Scooby-Do! (incorrect title listed - "Scooby-Doo" is misspelled) 19. Scary Christmas

Yeah, Scooby-Doo doesn't tend to air episodes in production order, because it's not a franchise that usually has overarching stories throughout a series, expect for Mystery Incorporated and, I guess, somewhat 13 Ghosts and Get a Clue, in which case they do air them in the right order.

I found it surprising in this case though that most other countries were airing these in production order, but the US chose not to (which created that continuity error). You'd think they'd just choose a single order for all countries to air the episodes the same way.

If anyone has seen the Looney Tunes Show, the plot of the episode Working Duck was mentioned in the episode The Foghorn Leghorn Story despite the latter airing first

Interesting! I think that unfortunately happens in a lot of shows. One of the most memorable ones to me is Saved by the Bell, in which they aired two episodes from season 1 during season 5, despite all the actors looking super noticeably younger in these episodes, and even some of the actors' voices changing due to puberty since.

I wanted to watch Guess Who in order, but after a couple of years, it occurred to me that the series (as with most series) was being aired in whatever order the TV network or streaming service cared to aired it in, so I just didn't care and watched it in whatever ordered I wanted.

Yeah, that's a good mindset to have. I just found it interesting that all the other countries aired BCSD in the production order, and only the US decided to switch it up for some reason.
