How to display the search result alphabetically in Robohelp responsive HTML5 output. I use Robohelp 2019 and the search result is not shown alphabetically.

PFA screenshot - I searched for Add Asset. The search result is showing the first topic starting with the letter "i" and then "A",  "W", and "G".

    I understand what you want but that's not an option, I therefore suggested an index as something alphabetical.

    Searches are ranked by various factors. What you need is an Index.

    The index is already added. But they need search results to be displayed alphabetically.

    According to this old thread (https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp-discussions/sort-search-results-alphabetically-in-robohelp-9/m-p/13297110) there was no way to influence this ranking in the RH UI. The suggested hack to the output's JavaScript file might work with HTML5 output, but it might have changed. You'd probably need a JS programmer to have a look to see what might be edited.
