Understanding the naming of Doublets and Ambiguous barcodes #70

Hi,

First of all thanks for the amazing tool.

I have a very naive question regarding the naming of assigned doublets and ambiguous droplets. In one of my project after demultiplexing I see the following results. How exactly were doublets and ambiguous barcodes/cells were named, is there a significance on which sample ID appears first. For example, we can see 3 diff ambiguous droplets and 2 diff doublets, what is the difference between all these ambiguous and doublet cells.
