Steve Hankin or one of the PMEL types probably have a much more elegant method,
but if you are in a rush there is always the brute force method. First dump the
file to ASCII using ncdump, then use an editor (or program) to order the data
nicely for easy input into ferret. Then, using ferret, create axes and grid,
read in data, then save the data in a NetCDF file. This will have the standard
order.

Alternatively, if you know NetCDF, you could create a new NetCDF file with the
proper ordering and then write a C or ForTran program to read in the data from
the original NetCDF file, and then rewrite the data into the new NetCDF file.

Good Luck, Mark
