Thanks for the quick reply, John.
Xindy looks like a great program and provides great solutions. The problem is that I can't seem to get it to work on my Mac OS X machine. A quick look through the xindy mailinglist gave me the impression that no one has been able to get Xindy to run on Mac OS X yet.
Could somebody maybe tell me just how the \definesortkey command works? Do I have to define a specific encoding or create "languagespecifics" in order for TEXEXEC or TEXUTIL to use it?
I would imagine that ConTeXt must be able to sort a norwegian words in a separate register say "\indexnw{kr{\o}ypa}}" differently from the english index entries in general \index{} register.
