Greetings Developers,
I am trying to do quantum transport calculations in a pristine graphene nanoribbon (72 atoms) made from an orthorhombic graphene unit cell (12 atoms). So I have used one unit cell per principal layer making sure two principal layers are on either lead side and the conduction area is of 2 unit cells. I am constantly getting the error message while employing automated c2c :

Sorting techniques exhausted: Inconsistent number of groups among principal layers
I am using gamma_only calculation for transport. However, I observed that when I used a denser 6x6x1 grid, the system was able to sort the structure into desired principle layers but obviously stopped because transport only works at the gamma point. I am not sure if it was a fluke because I am not able to reproduce that again with the same denser grid input. One additional thing, in my graphene unit cell (12 atoms) bandstructure, the dirac cone is at gamma point.
I am attaching my wannier input files with this email. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Output:
