Hi,
I noticed that sometimes converged DFT calculations give the Kohn-Sham orbitals (which are printed right after the converged energy) in a funny order. Around the Fermi energy, the orbitals are not ordered with increasing energy such that some orbitals are said to be occupied when in fact they shouldn't be. For example :
Vector 835 Occ=2.000000D+00 E=-1.725603D-01
MO Center= 4.1D-01, 7.7D-01, 1.2D+00, r^2= 3.1D+01

Is there a reason for this? Couldn't this affect other values calculated from the converged density since it comprises orbitals that shouldn't be occupied in reality?
Thanks,
Chloe
