</span>Dear Samuel,<br>
the order is not important, if for some reason you need a specific order<br>
your code is going to break sooner or later.<br>
<br>
Anyway, q2qstar uses the same subroutines as phonon, so in principle it<br>
should give the same order. If you have a valid reason for requiring the<br>
same order and if you provide enough input and example files to<br>
reproduce your case, I may have a look.<br>
