Thanks for this response. I'll have to work on this (but tomorrow...
it's late at night for me at the moment). I can see part of what you
mean: I can use, for example \index[myindex]{\it Book title} (Book
Author) and get the correct result, but not sorted properly, so I have
to understand how, as you say, to 'set the sort entry to the unformatted
version' which is not clear to me at the moment. I'll tackle it on the
morrow when I'm thinking more clearly!
there is key and entry with key between []
when sorting, the key wins but because there can be duplicates the entry
itself is also part of the final sort key
the accumulates sort key is sanitized and after that sorting happens in
several stages (these can be defined / adapted) according to language,
taking numbers into account and finally using the unicode ordering ...
you can fool the system by messing with the [key]
it's not the easiest subsystem (but it has a long history ... as with
many subsystems the principles are not much different than mkii and the
code seldom changes but of course evolved)
