Subject: RE: [dita] Groups - Issue 45a: Add sort order indexing elements (IssueNumber45a.html) uploaded
If you want to sort aardvark after absolutely everything else in English, you can use markup like:
<indexterm>aardvark<index-sort-order>zzz</index-sort-order></indexterm>
This is an extreme example where you want to stick something at the absolute end. In other cases, we would want to place a sortable expression within the index-sort-order element, such as in the Japanese use case I described in the proposal.

Chris,
How would this proposal allow me to place the words beginning with the
letter "a" at the end of the sort? The result would be b ... z a
Of course, this is a fictional example but it would enable users to
correct for the sort order in various languages that is different from a
standard sort.
