Hi Ed,
I'm afraid there is nothing I can do at the netCDF-4 level to change
that.
What about trying the procedure that Quincey suggests?

This would break the order of variables and dimensions, which is a key
piece of the netCDF API.
HDF5 doesn't use any time information for tracking the creation order
of objects in group or attributes on objects. I tried to go that way
initially, but gave up on it last summer. So, it is safe to disable
the time tracking in netCDF-4 and keep the creation order feature.
