please consider the following (my personal opinion/experience):

Hello All
I have a document that contains Bible references as footnotes (e.g. Romans
3:12). I'd like to construct an Index of Scripture References at the end of
the book, listing the references in biblical order rather than alphabetical,
but this presents problems for the sort order. Some
Hi Roger,
You should be able to change the sort order using the bracketed sort text.
You could set a numeric value for each of the biblical books, depending on
their placement in the Bible. For example, Romans 3:12 could be [45003012],
where 45 is the book number, 003 is the chapter, and 012 is
Specifying the sort using the [aaa] should work. I have used this a number
of times.

Roger,
The first thing to realize is that many published books have indexes that were
compiled by a professional indexer, working from galleys and using a dedicated
indexing software tool like CINDEX or SKY Index rather than one that is built
from embedded index codes in the authoring tool.
You refer below to having multiple hypertext markers in the same paragraph.
This is not related to that. This happens even when the link is the only one in
the graph. The issue happens when the link wraps to the second line.
With that information in mind, do you still think that this is tied to

Are you certain that the misbehaving links are coded in the FrameMaker source

It is most likely that what you see is indeed related to the TimeSavers
settings of Ignore duplicate markers. I suggest that you try turning it
off, redistill and inspect the result.
If it is indeed the case, consider using the other workarounds mentioned to
prevent a hypertext marker
Yes, clearing the ignore dup markers checkbox returns my wrapping Frame

And I found that, in the one case that initially triggered the need for the

You can use TemplateMapper... It sets up a project to manage import from a new
template into a legacy book. You create map files that manage how to import
individual formats (turn LegacyBody into NewBody), and load legacy, template,
and map files into a project. The project can
