Question

How do I alpabetize the index?

When I add new index keywords in RoboHelp HTML 6, the new entries are placed at the top of the index list rather than in their alphabetical place in order. They stay there when I change tabs and return to the index display and when I end and restart RoboHelp. I see that I can move the out-of-place index entries manually, but isn't there any way to automatically alphabetize the index?

Hi Nom dAdobe

You have the ability to right-click the index and choose Sort from the context menu.

If you want the index to always automatically sort, click File > Project Settings... and make sure a check mark is beside "Binary Index". (Binary indexes are always sorted)

Cheers... Rick

I just switched over to HTMLHelp from WinHelp and had the same problem. You'd think they would make that command more visible. But, at least I know how to get the index in the right order now. I appreciate the help!
