There was a problem hiding this comment.
I can't really comment on the python code from a perspective of expertise, but I think I can follow - The 'main' line that fixes the bug is:
sample_names = sorted(sample_names)
right @dialvarezs ? This is what ensures consistent output ordering?

This PR address an issue I found when working on the snapshots.
In some (machine dependent?) cases, the
get_mag_depths.pywould not produce consistent column ordering on depth summaries, and as we are merging them the dummy way via.collectfile(keepHeader: true), that could result in partially swapped results in the final summary.Example of the outcome (same test, different machines):

I also improved the script a little to make it easier on the eyes.
