That sounds like *the* solution (for my next book, in 2020). I've had excellent experiences with harfbuzz-embedded software.

Re: [NTG-context] formatting index entries: alphabetical order in Unicode
That helps!
But in any case, it looks like the problems are actually several (also the one
of the precise order of the words in the index), and I think the 'fastest'
solution for now is that I just compile the index (only 4 pages), make a
separate component file and rearrange the contents by copy-and-paste. Not the
most elegant of solutions, but it works. :-)

Re: [NTG-context] formatting index entries: alphabetical order in Unicode
Robert,
In IV one can do something such as this:
% Registers (Indices)
\defineregister[TIB]
\setupregister[TIB][indicator=yes,compress=yes]
and then in the body:
\TIB[don du gner ba]{don du gñer ba : patthanā : wish}don du gñer ba'i
phyir rdzogs par byed do
\TIB[non mons]{ñon moṅs : kilesa : defilements}ñon moṅs pa śin tu che
ba yin-no

Subject: [NTG-context] formatting index entries: alphabetical order in
Unicode
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2019 01:42:40 +0200
Mailer:
I seem to have a problem with Unicode in the indexing function for my
book: a word like āyitu (beginning with an 'a' with a macron over it)
is considered a word that starts with a 'y'; the word īga (beginning
with an i with a macron) is placed as if it is 'ga'.
Is there any way to tell the indexing function how to deal with such
special characters?
Robert
