Question

Can you help with RoboHelp Version 11: WebHelp Index Keyword Sorting?

I'm new to RoboHelp 11, and I am finding it difficult to alphabetize topics listed under my Index Keywords. When I look at the keyword topics in my RoboHelp HTML editor, they are listed in alphabetical order (see the Tools topic in the first image), but when I generate WebHelp the Tools topics are not in the correct order (second image). I believe that the problem pertains to new entries made to a converted RoboHelp Version 6 WebHelp application. Basically, I have been adding content to several old version 6-generated html files in the new RoboHelp HTML editor.

Another issue that's perplexing is the fact that the Move Up and Move Down icons at the top of the Index editor pod, or whatever it's called, are grayed-out (not functioning). I remember with the Version 6 application, they worked fine.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to get the index alphabetized? I appreciate your help.

Hi there

In your Index Designer pod, try right-clicking the list of entries and see if you have Sort as an option...

If it's disabled as shown above, try clicking File > Project Settings... > General tab and you likely need to clear the "Binary Index" check box.

Once you disable Binary Index, Sort should now be an option for you.

Cheers... Rick

Sorry, not really seeing what you’re talking about – the Tools index entry has a number of sub-entries under it – I’m presuming that the entry for C Pressure Gauge is appearing to launch the Digital Pressure Gauge topic because the text “C Pressure Gauge” appears on the first line. What’s out of order?
