Sorting keywords

You can sort index file keywords by dragging items anywhere in the keyword list. You can also use the Sort command to arrange keywords numerically and alphabetically in ascending order (0 to 9 and A to Z). Sort is unavailable with a binary index.

Note: Topic keywords are automatically sorted in numeric and alphabetical order.

To sort keywords:

  1. Click the Index tab.

  2. Right-click a keyword and select Sort.

  3. From the submenu, select a sort option.

Tips:

  • Entries beginning with numbers are sorted first.

  • If two or more index entries begin with the same character, the program evaluates the subsequent characters in each one to determine which should come first.
