Thanks for your answer John! I want to be able to sort the swedish
letters, �,� and �. (the order is ... u,v,x,y,z,�,�,�). When I add words
now that begin with those letters they end up before all other letters.
Example. Adding zebra, �sna, �lg and �dla gives something like
�dla
�lg
�sna
Z
zebra
while I want it to be
Z
zebra
�
�sna
�
�lg
�
�dla
============
I have used xindy in LaTeX and liked it alot. Do I read your text
correct between the lines when I read that ConTeXt uses makeindex as
default but there is a way to use xindy instead to sort things? Or does
ConTeXt sort things in another way?
Regards, Micke P
