No, it's right as I had it: h before H and A before a, as per the order in the "alphabet" below/G.

Apologies if this is a duplication.....] Hi,thanks for reply, I'll have a look for ΩT but ii's probably not what I'm looking for. The languages in question are no longer spoken. I'm not looking for a translator as such but just a way to order strings that I enter, e.g. one "alphabet" that I use is:ȝ j y ˁ w b p f m n r h ḥ ḫ ẖ z s š q k g t ṯ d ḏ and I'd like to be able to sort strings composed of those characters (which haven't all come out well-proportioned in this font) according to that character order.... alternatively they are sometimes represented as A j y a w b p f m n r h H x X z s S q k g t T d D where the case is significant, i.e. h will always come before H, and A before a, etc. I did take a look at the dictionaries in the extensions, but no, they don't cover the languages I want (I didn't expect them to). /G.

To get this function go to Tools > Options > Languages settings > Language and activate Asian. Then in the Format menu, select Asian phonetic guide. In the Base text field, you write the 'normal' word, in the Ruby field the different word. The area below let you choose where to put the Ruby text. Note that Ruby is also a style that you can modify. Don't know if that helps. You can also build your own list of words, but that will appear as a dictionary for spell checking.
