Hi,

I would like to include an index with Japanese terms, ordered according to the Japanese alphabet.

I can say \index[kanji]{漢字} for an entry under K. For my Japanese index I imagine \index[かんじ]{漢字} to place an entry under か. Is something like this possible?

The Japanese alphabet fits (almost) into a 5x10 table. Depending on the size of the index, it is customary to order an index either by column only (for a smaller index) or by table entry (top-to-bottom, right-to-left). I'd be happy with either, although the smaller one will probably suffice for my purposes...

Any help on how to implement this?

All that is needed is information ... you can have a look in the sort-lan.* files. I also suggest that you check with Dalyoung (haksan@me.com) as he keeps an eye on cjk issues. For instance korean sorting is supported, so japanese should ne possible as well.

The ordering would be ka-i ga-i ka-n ga-n The rule "i before n" is stronger than the rule "ka before ga". I guess this is the same in, say, German, where 'essen' should come before 'Essen', but 'Essbarkeiten' before both of them, "e before E" being the weakest ordering rule... Is this the use of local cs, CS = utfchar(replacementoffset + 1), utfchar(replacementoffset + 11) in sort-lan.lua? Once I know how to enable a particular sorting pattern for a register I can probably figure it out by myself. How would I do that?
