[Pw_forum] problem with monoclinic cell with ibrav=0

hi 2 all,
 I was trying to  draw the monoclinic structure of KY(PO3)4, potassium
yttrium polyphosphate,  with ibrav=0 and i have made it almost. The problem
in my structure is that it is making an extra bond b/w Potassium and
Yttrium  instead of that bond between Potassium and oxygen . All the atoms
are at their positions   but only two bond are swapped.  Means both the
bonds should be in b/w Potassium and oxygen instead of Potassium and
Yttrium.  Please help or give advice. The Details are as follows.
Thanks A lot in advance,



Crystal data

Mr = 443.89
Monoclinic, P21
a = 7.2244 (3) A
b = 8.2825 (3) A
c = 7.854 (4) A
beta = 91.735 (3)
V = 469.7 (2) A3
