Index format and sorting

Index format and sorting

[Hraban]

Heigh ho!

I'd like to influence the layout of my index a bit...

Is it possible to use uppercase "section titles" (a, b, c...)?

Is it possible to change the sorting, that upper- and lowercase
become joined and umlauts (ä, ö, ü) are sorted as a, o, u?

The page ranges of start/stopregister appear always before single
page entries. That looks a bit strange... Is that changeable?

At least for the latter texutil --references --quote should do,
else you can define a \sortkey (see enco-ini.tex).

For the uppercase header:
Try:
\setuphead[section][textcommand=\command#1]
with texcommand=\uppercase
(Completely untested)

Must I say "texutil --references --quote mymainfile" after the
texexec run(s) and then run texexec again, or how?

I only found \definesortkey.
Should I write such for every umlaut, like:
\definesortkey{"a}{a}{a}{"a}
\definesortkey{"A}{A}{a}{"A}
\definesortkey{"s}{ss}{ss}{"s}
etc. ?

What's the difference between the "raw" (2nd) and the "sort order" 
(3rd) entry?

No, I wanted to get changed the "sections" within the index.
If they would get formatted as "section" or like that, they
would follow my existing \setuphead definitions.
Is there a keyword for those index section headers to make
\setuphead[index_section_header][...] ?

BTW: Wie sieht das mit dem deutschen Interface aus?
Eine Antwort im Sinne von "überlass das mir" wäre auch schon
eine Antwort, dann lass ich die Finger davon.
