I assume by “shapes” you mean the base symbol (all diacritics
stripped).

Bingo! The tracker instantly revealed a really nasty flaw in the
German standard transcription for Greek: “υ” is normally
converted to Latin “y”, but is retained as Latin “u” in
diphthongs like “ευ” and “ηυ”. So with the sorting definition I
posted I get amongst the results:
sorters > Kapaneys > Kapaneus
because all “υ” are lazily mapped to “y”. Thus, for those
occasional three words per book, determining the sorting position
by hand (e.g. “\index[Kapaneus]{Καπανεύς}”) might be less prone
to error.
Thanks for the hint and sorry for posting a non-solution,
Philipp
