Question

How could I create the sort order of the index with combined English and Cyrillic index entries

I would like to have the index file which should contain first the English group titles with the current English index entries and after that the Cyrillic group titles with the cyrillic index entries.

Please help me, it would be very important for an technical documentation (2900 pages with a lot of index markers).

Thank you

Eva

    Have you already tried anything that didn't work?

    My experience with IX sort order is limited to locating the symbols and numerics relative to the romans, but it appears that all you need to do is ...

    Edit the GroupTitlesIX paragraph on Reference Page IX of the YourDocNameIX.fm file. Put the cyrillic leading characters after the roman leading characters.

    In the generated index document, select View > Reference Pages, and go to the reference page named "IX".
    On this page, you'll find an ordered list of index group titles, which looks e.g. like this:

    Symbols[\ ];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z

    Append the additional cyrillic characters to the paragraph in the same fashion as the existing entries.

    The new titles should appear when updating the index.

    I did it, as you suggested,

    Unfortunatelly, it does not work.

    Did you update the IX file? What result are you getting now?
