Index entries always appear in alphabetical order.
However, occasionally you may not want your index entry 
to appear where it would normally be alphabetized.
For instance, the famous "5ft Avenue" would ordinarily
be placed at the beginning of the index, before the "A"s.

MsWord and LaTeX have this option.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing#Controlling_Sorting

e.g.(MsWord)
XE "5ft Avenue;Fifth Avenue"
XE "entry;resorted entry"

The use of flags ";" (MsWord) or "@$\vec{}$" (LaTeX) is very convenient,
because it can be used with ease in a concordance file.
I suggest a similar solution.
Kind regards
D.L.
