That depends on what you want to change:

     - whutils.js

     - whibody.htm

Hi Willam,

Thanks for the immediate response.

I want to sort the index term with respect to the configuration file and not in alphabetical order. I made the changes in "whidata0.xml". The output is not displaying properly.

In the attached screenshot blank lines are dispalyed instead of the index terms.

Thanks,

Bala

Hi,

I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. A user can also search for a term in your index, so the sorting shouldn't have to be a problem. Also, sorting an index alphabetically makes sense to me. Every book I've ever read had an alphabetical index. I'd get confused if it used a different method.

Greet,

Willam
