I'm writing up a thesis that makes references to "Łukasiewicz logic" and of course cites articles written by Łukasiewicz.
BibTeX knows how to sort citations by author name: ..., L, Ł, M,... makeindex does not know how to handle non-ASCII characters. It sorts like this: Ł, A, B, C,... So I have to implement the following hateful hack to get the correct sorting order: \index{LZukasiweicz lo...@{\l}ukasiwicz logic} It only works because I don't have anything in the index beginning with "lzul". Ok, not likely that I would, but it's still hateful. I imagine that this inconsistency between the two is because more people use BibTeX with more special characters than people use makeindex. But still.... Rob P.S. If there's a duplicate message from last night, my apologies.
