A generic nonaligned Josephson junction in the presence of an externalmagnetic field is theoretically considered and an unusual flux-dependentcurrent-phase relation (CPR) is revealed. We explain the origin of theanomalous CPR via the current density flow induced by the external field withina two-dimensional quasiclassical Keldysh-Usadel framework. In particular, it isdemonstrated that nonaligned Josephson junctions can be utilized to obtain aground-state other than 0 and \pi, corresponding to a so-called\varphi-junction, which is tunable via the external magnetic flux. Furthermore,we show that the standard Fraunhofer central peak of the critical supercurrentmay be inverted into a local minimum solely due to geometrical factors inplanar junctions. This yields good consistency with a recent experimentalmeasurement displaying such type of puzzling feature [R. S. Keizer et al,Nature 439, 825 (2006)].
