Michael—
Thank you so much for your very helpful response.
1. \unskip works well.
2. What I currently have is admittedly an ad hoc system for encoding my
indices. As you note, the system works for page numbers 99 where line
numbers 99. When line numbers 99, I adapt the sort key differently:
Thanks, Alan. Actually, I now think MKIV works without any trickery. I was
perhaps too eager to try a Lua solution. \Passage{Author+Text+Locus} seems to
work fine in the beta today.
Cheers, Michael

If you dont' like the + you can do:
\setregisterentry
[Passage]
For anyone interested in producing classical indices locorum, I have
devised a way that seems to work, although it is not that elegant.
The first step is to modify the sort keys by counting the number of digits
in the page number:
thus,
[AuthorText01] for pages 1–9,
[AuthorText02] for pages
1. For \ab you might want
\def\ab{\unskip}
since the space is not the same as the width of a digit.
2. Does your solution work with line numbers greater than 99? I tried to
implement your idea and I got the order 25.7, 25.117, 25.37. Probably more
than 99 lines never occurs on a page, so
I have been trying to index the passages cited in a book and would be
grateful for some tactical advice.
There are several works by a single author, and it is customary to cite
each text by page and line number, as in 1253.12 (page 1253, line12), for
example.
I have a sort key for each work. But
