Hi,
I am wondering if there is a simple way to get the correct band energy orderin out of VASP output files. I mean, can I figure out from the output whether two bands 'touch' at a particular kpoint or whether they cross?
Thank you!

u can do it by manually taking all the band energies from the EIGENVAL file

You can plot the wave functions around the crossing point in the band structure. The wave functions belonging to the same band should have certain features preserved, such as the symmetry of the wave function.
