Until recently, all known ordered II-IV-N2 materials crystallised in the $\beta$-NaFeO$_2$-type in space group Pna2$_1$. BeGeN$_2$, however, crystallises in space group Pmc2$_1$, with a different cation ordering motif long anticipated for this materials class. Chemical bonding analysis is used to rationalise this particular behaviour.
