Well, the order of atoms within a residue in the PDB file is irrelevant.
But the atom names in the PDB file do have to match those in the prepin
file. If you create your prepin/mol2 files using antechamber and starting
from a PDB file, then the names will match. If you use another path, then
you'll have to find some other way to get the names to match, e.g. by
hand-editing the pdb file....
