but are they in the correct location now, e.g. ä after a?

I'm not German, but I was browsing a LaTeX manual the day after
reading your post, which reminded me.  That manual says the LaTeX code
"a is turned into ä in the document, and if you supply the ``-g`` flag
to makeindex, it will order it under ``ae`` (which is supposedly
standard German practice).  The man page says the same thing.  e.g "s
is turned into ß, but is ordered under ``ss``

Perhaps check your document.tex file and see if your umlaut characters
are shown with LaTeX codes, such as \"{\a} for ä.  Maybe you are using
unicode characters in your rst file and they are not being converted
to LaTeX codes?
