problem creating index post starting with a number

Question

I have earlier been able to create indexes of keywords starting with a number, such as "1734 års lag". Now it doesn't work either in CC2025, CC2024 or CC2022. Indesign crasches as I hit ok in the add index post dialog.
I also tried to just select "års lag", an then add the "1734" manually in the dialog, but with the same result.
I have restarted programs and computer. Working in Sonoma 14.5 on a macbook pro, 2021.
What is the problem?

I'm working with the document now, and suddenly noticed another strange thing with the index. The Swedish letters å and ö, which are to be sorted at the end of the alphabet, now sorts at the end of a, in the case of å, and the ö word at the end of o. BUT: when the Swedish letter is the second letter of the word, it's sorted correctly!

Did you set the sort order to Swedish?

I don't see that problem on Windows.

You can try deleting the preferences (restart InDesign holding down the (Mac equivalent of) Ctrl+Alt+Del

If that doesn't work, delete InDesign's caches. On my Windows PC they're in

C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 20.0\en_GB\Caches

I don't know what the Mac equivalent would be.
