Please see The HDF Group's new Support Portal for the latest information.
If I use h5repack to repack a file with the latest file format, will the new file have the creation order recorded?
Creation order tracking does not happen by default. If a file did not have it to begin with, it will not have it when it is repacked.
In HDF5-1.8.13, an option will be added to h5repack to allow the addition or removal of creation order for objects and attributes.
