I try to get an item starting with an Umlaut 'Ü' sorted under the appropriate place U and not at the end of the glossary. I added in this nomenclature item under */sort by/* an *U* hoping that it would now be correctly sorted. It does not (see appended lyx file).

I would appreciate a hint what I am doing wrong. I am using lyx 2.2.0 under Debian. Do I need another package instead of nomenclature, which takes care of umlaute?


As a guess, since you probably use a font set that includes the Umlaut-U as a character, the glossary is sorting by the order that that symbol appears in the font. You might try replacing that character by the TeX equivalent \"{U} (in ERT) and see whether it is then properly alphabetized.

Thanks, David, that did it. What about $Q_{10}$? It is sorted correctly, but the global

\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\textsf{\textbf{#1}}}

does not turn it into bold, nor does the individual \textbf{$Q_{10}$} do it.

I'm glad I guessed right about the umlaut. But for this I think there is a different problem. \textbf{} has, I believe, a problem with math mode. Try $\mathbf{Q_{10}}$ instead -- or, equivalently, enter math-mode in LyX and type \mathbf (then space), and then Q_10 (space).
