index sort question

index sort question

[Horacio Suarez]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 465 bytes --]


hello all
In a index, is there a way to sort the items inside a letter not alphabetically, I mean, in appearance order? or maybe there is another way to do it.

I have now:
A arbol   blanco,    15   rojo,         4   verde,     23  araña    grande,   50    linda,      12
I want:
A arbol   rojo,         4   blanco,    15   verde,     23  araña    linda,      12    grande,   50

Thankyou in adavance.

Hello Horacio,

if you have only one index item per page, than on the second level you 
can use \pagenumber for sorting:

A\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+rojo}\page
B\index[araña+\pagenumber]{araña+linda}\page
C\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+verde}\page
D\index[araña+\pagenumber]{araña+grande}\page
E\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+blanco}\page


The first level should be sorted alphabetically, because
1) you need to group index items according to first word (arbol, araña)
2) if the first item in the publication would start with "z", than you 
would have "Z" as the first letterhead in the register (according to 
what you want), not speaking about others, so you could get "Z G I E A N 
L ..." as an alphabet, and nobody would find anything.

or your own counter increased by every index item, which doesn't 
restrict it to one item per page.

Jano, thankyou very much.
It is a songs book, and I need an author table of content.
Your solution is very good, works fine, but using \pagenumber or incrementing a counter I can´t make it work.

I replace \pagenumber with a incremental number to assure the label sorting.
So using the original sample, instead of:A\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+rojo}\pageB\index[araña+\pagenumber]{araña+linda}\pageC\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+verde}\pageD\index[araña+\pagenumber]{araña+grande}\pageE\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+blanco}\page
it is nowA\index[arbol1]{arbol+rojo}\pageB\index[araña2]{araña+linda}\pageC\index[arbol3]{arbol+verde}\pageD\index[araña4]{araña+grande}\pageE\index[arbol5]{arbol+blanco}\page
Even it´not elegant, the Author index is very nice!
Maybe yo know why I can´t make it work.
Well, thankyou again.

I guess you should ensure that \pagenumber is expanded immediately.
Otherwise, it will be expanded on your table of contents page, which
will of course be the same number for every entry.

Maybe try with
   \setupregister[expansion=yes]

If that doesn't work, you could try replacing your \index commands with
   \expanded{\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+rojo}}

These are only guesses, I may be wrong.

Are you using MarkII or MarkIV? In mkiv the above solution works here. 
In mkii \expadned makes it work as Vianney has already suggested.

thankyou Vianney and Jano,
I'm using MarkII.
Anyway \pagenumber is not usefull because there ir more than 1 index item per page.
But using a number and incrementing it each index ocurrence works neither.
Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know what is "expanded" or what does the "expansion" key?

thankyou for your answers.
