Re: Problem with sorting nomenclature entries...
Hello Uwe, Thank you for fixing the problem. I'm unsure why using manual page margins breaks the compilation. In my thesis, I have "Default Margins" unticked in LyX: Document Settings >> Page Margins, although the numerical settings seem to be identical as those of the default settings. Anyhow, thank you again for getting my non-working minimum working example to compile. At this point, could we please return to my original problem as to why the alphabetisation is incorrect in this file? Your example is correct (i.e., RMS, RMSE, and RMSE*), while in my example the entries are reversed.

Guillaume, that is a terrific workaround, thanks! I confess I had never used a
math macro before so it never would have occurred to me to try this. Combined
with instant preview mode (indeed even with instant previews off) it's a pretty
satisfying solution. The things LyX can do!

One of the big advantages of the KOMA script classes is that is does the printspace calculation automatically for you depending on the fonts and font sizes you are using. It does this by following some common typesetting rules and ISO norms. If you need some more space at a margin, e.g. for a book binding, you can adjust the printspace with the document class option BCOR. For example in the LyX UserGuide "BCOR7.5mm" is used n the document class options to get 7.5mm more space in case someone wants to print it out and form a booklet. Attached is your corrected file where I simple used the default page margins. regards Uwe minimum_example.lyx Description: application/lyx

Dear LyX folk,
Quick question — what would it take to get display support for lower
case calligraphic letters, which you can get in your rendered PDF via
a package like BOONDOX-cal. Currently, typing lower case letters
inside a \mathcal tag in math mode generates a seemingly random
selection of symbols. Even just being able to see ordinary lower case
letters, even if not calligraphic, would be preferable. A reasonably
good workaround here is to use instant preview mode, but that's still
less than ideal.
Just wondering; this is obviously not a major problem but it would be
cool if there was a reasonably easy fix.
A quick workaround that you have not mentioned: define a lyx macro \cal
that you set to output \mathcal{#1}, but to display something else, like
\boldsymbol{\mathit{#1}}.

Dear LyX folk, Quick question — what would it take to get display support for lower case calligraphic letters, which you can get in your rendered PDF via a package like BOONDOX-cal. Currently, typing lower case letters inside a \mathcal tag in math mode generates a seemingly random selection of symbols. Even just being able to see ordinary lower case letters, even if not calligraphic, would be preferable. A reasonably good workaround here is to use instant preview mode, but that's still less than ideal. Just wondering; this is obviously not a major problem but it would be cool if there was a reasonably easy fix. Chris Menzel ps: LyX 2.2alpha with its support for retina displays is amazingly great! Many thanks to Stephan Witt and the other developers for their talent and their commitment this truly wonderful and extraordinarily useful software.
Re: Problem with sorting nomenclature entries...
Hi
Try removing the \textsf{\textbf{ }} around each label i.e.
RMS,RMSE,RMSE*. This should allow proper sorting.
If you want the font defined by \textsf{\textbf{ }} then put
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\textsf{\textbf{#1}}}
in your preamble. Good luck.

Hello Uwe,
Thank you very much for showing me that nomenclature entries can be sorted
correctly. That is promising.
I tried to create a minimum working example (attached). The problem is that I
couldn't get the example to work... When I tried to compile the file, I saw the
following error:
Error while exporting format: PDF (pdflatex)
I'm unsure what went wrong, as I know almost nothing about LaTeX. I do have
quite a bit of stuff in my preamble, which is mostly stuff a colleague who's
well-versed in LaTeX told me to include. Perhaps the things in the preamble are
wreaking havoc. I'm also using the KOMA-Script Report class. Could this be a
problem?
I can confirm that the original nomenclature entry in my thesis compiles,
albeit with the sorting errors.
Can I get further help please, or any help with alternatives to using the
nomencl package? I tried to look at incorporating the glossaries package into
LyX, but the complicated instructions were above my paygrade... ;-(
Thank you again,
Daisuke

I get the right sort order automatically, see the attached file.
Could you please provide a _minimal_ example file with the wrong sort order?
