Reply To: Indexing problems in PDF output with XMetaL 7.0.0.111

We had that issue and turned it out it was due (for us) to an extra space entered at the beginning of the secondary . For example, Applered will sort differently than red.

It's easy to accidentally add a space if you use the Insert Index Marker dialog box and enter the terms in the Index term box as “Apple,red” vs. “Apple, red”. Easy to do with multiple writers contributing topics to an index.

That was the issue for us, so we just had to remove all the spaces at the beginning of the secondary term and the sort issues went away.

As far as the page range without a secondary entry, not sure, unless there's a empty secondary , or one that just contains a space.
