------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 21 04:09:55 -0700 2006 ------- The "Alphabetic Index" feature works almost perfectly in right-to-left languages (such as Hebrew or Arabic): entries are correctly formatted, the page numbers appear in the correct order and place, and so on. Only one thing isn't correct: the column order. When in the index's configuration form you specify that you want several columns (this is what is almost always done), these columns always appear from left to right: the first bunch of entries in alphabetical order appear on the leftmost column, then come the second-to-left column, and so on, until the last items alphabetically come on the rightmost column. This isn't the appropriate thing to do in a right-to-left language: There, you'd want the first entries to appear on the rightmost column, not the leftmost. I think the insert-index form should give you an option to choose "column order" (left-to-right or right-to-left). Alternatively, since you already ask in the form for the entries' language (to which I answer "Hebrew"), you could use the default direction for that language. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
