Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

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.
