Hi,
Can you try the following patch that makes Xindy work as expected? To use
it:
dblatex -bxetex -Platex.index.tool=xindy -Platex.index.language=norwegian
doc.xml
It is a temporary patch, in the final patch the index module will be able
to select the xindy language from the document language when possible.
Note that the sorting doesn't work well with xindy and pdftex because
pdftex uses commands in the index to emulate the non latin characters,
that xindy don't know. With xetex it seems to work fine.
Tell me if it works for the whole book.
Regards,
BG

Could be. But should not '<book lang="nb">' tell dblatex to do the
right thing for Norwegian Bokmål? :)
One could think about making the default backend language dependent.
@Benoît: putting you into the loop: what do you think about this idea?

I did, using 'dblatex -b xetex sort-order-test.xml', and the new
index end up with this ordering instead:
Alle inne
Bare tull
Åndalsnes
Ærlig talt
Øvrigheten
The 'Symbols' header is gone, as there is no symbols/letter headers in
this version. Still wrong ordering, though, but different. It should
be
Alle inne
Bare tull
Ærlig talt
Øvrigheten
Åndalsnes
Hm, this would be a XeTeX problem, dblatex just emits a \printindex
command.
