Just out of curiosity from an occasional user: is it possible in indices to
specify a separate sort key and displayed term as you can with makeindex? I
remember back in the nineties I used numeric sort keys for a Sanskrit index
where the letters were Latin (with lots of diacritics) but the sort order
was Indic (a, ā, i, ī, ... k, kh, g, gh, ...). I assigned a two-digit
"number" (01, 02, 03, ...) to each grapheme and the sort key consisted of
hyphen-separated such numbers.
