_atom_site_site_symmetry_order

Name:
'_atom_site_site_symmetry_order'

Definition:

   The order of the site symmetry of the site identified by
   _atom_site_label.

   This is the number of times application of the
   crystallographic symmetry to the coordinates given for
   this site generates the same set of coordinates.
   It is equal to:

              multiplicity of the general position
              ------------------------------------
                  multiplicity of this site

    where 'multiplicity of this site' is
    given in _atom_site_site_symmetry_multiplicity.
