Wrong reporting of link creation order in root

[MarDiehl]

The information whether link creation order is tracked is wrong for the root group in HDFView (tested with version 3.3.2).

Attached are screenshots showing the behavior for base group and a regular group showing that datasets are correctly sorted, but link creation status is wrongly "Creation Order NOT Tracked" for the base group.

Codes (writing in Fortran/reading in Python) are also attached.

print_group_py.txt sort_group_f90.txt

Note: It might be that the issue is not in HDFView but in the core library. I've therefore opened https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/5183 with more information

Since this will be tracked in the HDF5 library project, we will close this.
