No, this is not a bug, but a result of a conscious design. Internally, the
selections are always evaluated as sets of atoms, which are (currently)
handled as a sorted list of indices. So any basic selection operation
always results in sorted atoms. If you want something else, you can use
"permute", "merge" or "plus" (which is only necessary for those few tools
that put significance to the order of atoms).

In addition to simplifying the implementation, this is much clearer. Or
what order would you expect the atoms to be if you provide a selection
"name C A B", and your system has 10 A atoms, 5 B atoms and 3 C atoms? How about if the system has molecules with multiple residues (so that splitting by molecule or by residue results in different ordering)? Or if you combine
two arbitrary unsorted expressions with "and" or "or"?

Hi,
I have tried gmx gangle -g1 angle option. Its sorting the atoms specified in the input. I think it might be a bug. gmx gangle -g1 vector -g2 vector
is doing fine.
