Orbital swapping problem

You can do a couple of things to reorder the orbitals:

1. You can read in the vectors/orbitals from the neutral molecule that converged well.

2. You can take the vectors/orbitals from your last run and reorder them using the swap command.

Both are outlined here: http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Release61:Hartree-Fock_Theory_for_Molecules#VECTORS_--_...

I assume you have access to the vectors generated from the calculations you have done so far. I don not see you set the permanent_dir keyword to point to a the directory where you want those files stored (which could mean your files were stored in scratch space).

I tried the command you suggested, and though the differences in alpha and beta energies are closer, the beta energies are still lower. Also, the orbital ordering is still incorrect. Here is my input file:
