All of my entries that begin with quotation marks are sorting before the letter A. How do I make them appear in correct alphabetical order?
Choose Sort (from the Tools menu) and make sure that you’ve chosen either Word-by-Word or Letter-by-Letter alphabetizing, rather than ‘Simple’ alphabetizing. Simple alphabetizing attends to the quotes, while word-by-word and letter-by-letter alphabetizing ignore them (and other punctuation and symbols). Back to top 03. I am using letter-by-letter sorting, but my index isn’t alphabetized. My entries remain in the order in which I enter them, and each entry is displayed with a new group header letter. You probably have have your view set to show entries in unsorted order. Check under the View menu that the item Sorted has a check mark next to it. If it doesn’t, choose Sorted. (You can also check this at a glance, because CINDEX displays “Sorted” or “Unsorted” on the bar at the bottom of the screen.) Back to top 04. I have asked CINDEX to ignore “the” when sorting the index, but it doesn’t.
