what is the tar command line options/parameters to tar an iar ?

As you mentioned in your message, the order does matter. Telling the system to archive "*" won't guarantee the correct order. IIRC, it will do sub-directories first and may do it in alphabetical order putting assets ahead of inventory before it gets to the archive.xml file. Also, * as you also noted can get you a warning about a command line that is too long as "*" gets expanded to the list of files before the command is executed.

Instead use:
   tar cfz name-of-tar-file.iar archive.xml inventory/* assets/*
