We show that due to the Landau band mixing the eigenstate localization within the disordered bands get an asymmetric structure: the degree of localization increases in the lower part of the band and decreases in the upper one. The calculation is performed for a 2D lattice with the Anderson disorder potential and we prove that this effect is related to the upper shift of the extended states within the band and is enhanced by the disorder strength. The asymmetric localization and the energy shift dissapear when the interband coupling is switched off.
