Error in SummarizedExperiment::SummarizedExperiment(assays = assay_mats, : the rownames and colnames of the supplied assay(s) must be NULL or identical to those of the SummarizedExperiment object (or derivative) to construct

I have a SOMA object that I created from AnnData. It seems (?) to be valid:

However, when converting to SingleCellExperiment (or SummarizedExperiment, it fails:

Any ideas what is happening here? My feeling is there is just a small bug in the to_summarized_experiment() method.

I believe this error indicates that the order of either the sample or feature metadata table doesn't align with the assay matrix.
Does your dataset contain multiple assays (i.e., is there more than 1 array within /vast/scratch/users/milton.m/soma/X)?

Would it be possible to share the data you used so we can attempt to reproduce?

[multimeric]

It contains only one assay, but conceivably the order of labels are wrong between two different sources. If this is the case, then it's because the Python anndata -> SOMA conversion is messing with the order somehow. What command should I run to try to diagnose this? I think sending the data would be difficult at this point.
