Dominik, if I understood it correctly, Lorenzo talks about the table of
contents, not the index. :)
Back to Lorenzos original question:

I guess you mean to move the TOC to the end of, lets say, a book? Yes,
the DocBook stylesheets has lots of ways how to do this. The easiest
method is to set a parameter, but in this case, I fear, there is none.
However, if there is no parameter, you have to customize the
respective template(s). First you have to create a customization layer
(see [1] or [2]). Then you have to overwrite the standard
implementation. For example, if you want to move the TOC of a book to
the end, look at html/division.xsl and the "book" template. Here is the
code:
-----------[ html/division.xsl ]-----------
<xsl:template match="book">
<xsl:call-template name="id.warning"/>
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="common.html.attributes"/>
<xsl:if test="$generate.id.attributes != 0">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:call-template name="book.titlepage"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dedication"
mode="dedication"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="acknowledgements"
mode="acknowledgements"/>
<xsl:variable name="toc.params">
<xsl:call-template name="find.path.params">
<xsl:with-param name="table"
select="normalize-space($generate.toc)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="make.lots">
<xsl:with-param name="toc.params" select="$toc.params"/>
<xsl:with-param name="toc">
<xsl:call-template name="division.toc">
<xsl:with-param name="toc.title.p"
select="contains($toc.params, 'title')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
-------------------------------------------
The "make.lots" is the part that makes the TOC and the
xsl:apply-templates handles the rest of the book. Copy this template
into your customization layer and switch the two. Or in other words:
insert the xsl:apply-templates first and then the make.lots.
I think this should do the trick, but that's just a quick look. Hope
this helps.
Good luck! :)
