Hi Justin and Hubert:

Many thanks for your kind pointing out. Are you using the new version of 
CHARMM36? I am using the one from here:

http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/download.php?filename=CHARMM_ff_params_files/charmm36_gmx_format_sep13.tgz

I opened the merged.rtp file within the charmm36.ff file and found:

The line 3 in merged.rtp and my .pdb file are H12a. The order seems to 
be all right....

thank you very much.
