Inconsistent band projection with SOC #212

Hi,

I'm working on Bi2Se3. Because of the structural symmetry, I think the top and bottom layers should show identical band structures.

When I performed the projection(layer by layer) without SOC using PyProcar , the projected bands for the top and bottom layers look similar, as expected. And also matches well with partial charge calculation results.
However, when I include SOC, the band projection of the top and bottom layers are completely inconsistent. I have tried several versions, but the results were the same.

Could you please suggest how to correctly handle SOC projections by PyProcar?

Thanks a lot for your helps!
