Dear Jonathan,

Your VASP+Wannier90 examples are really of great help to me. I have a question on the band structure plotted by Wannier90. Maybe you can kindly give me some hints.

The user guide of Wannier90 says it can "disentangle" bands. And actually I observed the bands really cross in the Fig3 of their paper in 2008, as indicated by the red arrow shown below.

However, I checked the output bands generated by Wannier90 in your examples and found the energy bands are just simply sorted, as is in VASP's output. This can be seen in your example of Si, as shown below (data taken from your repo and color of curves changed for clarity).

Thank you in advance.
