def repack_fields(a, align=False, recurse=False):
    """
    Re-pack the fields of a structured array or dtype in memory.

    The memory layout of structured datatypes allows fields at arbitrary
    byte offsets. This means the fields can be separated by padding bytes,
    their offsets can be non-monotonically increasing, and they can overlap.

    This method removes any overlaps and reorders the fields in memory so they
    have increasing byte offsets, and adds or removes padding bytes depending
    on the `align` option, which behaves like the `align` option to
    `numpy.dtype`.

    If `align=False`, this method produces a "packed" memory layout in which
    each field starts at the byte the previous field ended, and any padding
    bytes are removed.

    If `align=True`, this methods produces an "aligned" memory layout in which
    each field's offset is a multiple of its alignment, and the total itemsize
    is a multiple of the largest alignment, by adding padding bytes as needed.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : ndarray or dtype
       array or dtype for which to repack the fields.
    align : boolean
       If true, use an "aligned" memory layout, otherwise use a "packed" layout.
    recurse : boolean
       If True, also repack nested structures.

    Returns
    -------
    repacked : ndarray or dtype
       Copy of `a` with fields repacked, or `a` itself if no repacking was
       needed.

    an output structured dtype with an equal number of fields-elements can be
    supplied instead.

    Nested fields, as well as each element of any subarray fields, all count
    towards the number of field-elements.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr : ndarray
       Unstructured array or dtype to convert.
    dtype : dtype, optional
       The structured dtype of the output array
    names : list of strings, optional
       If dtype is not supplied, this specifies the field names for the output
       dtype, in order. The field dtypes will be the same as the input array.
    align : boolean, optional
       Whether to create an aligned memory layout.
    copy : bool, optional
        See copy argument to `numpy.ndarray.astype`. If true, always return a
        copy. If false, and `dtype` requirements are satisfied, a view is
        returned.
    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
        See casting argument of `numpy.ndarray.astype`. Controls what kind of
        data casting may occur.

    Returns
    -------
    structured : ndarray
       Structured array with fewer dimensions.
