Please don't reply to the entire digest; the archive is hopelessly confused as 
it is, but let's not make it any worse ;)

The numbering of the atoms in the coordinate file should have no relevance on 
the .itp file, which must be numbered from 1.  If atoms in the coordinate file 
are out of order with respect to the topology, there's no real choice but to 
reorder them manually in a text editor, but that's only something you should 
ever have to do once.

If you need more explicit advice, please provide exact input, output, and any 
relevant error messages (copied and pasted from the terminal, please).
