Sort order of entries in an index

[Linda G. Gallagher]

OK. I must be really slow on the uptake today.

This worked to sort the entries that start with the numbers:

70 mm stud:roller locations[070 mm]
90 mm stud:roller locations[090 mm];


But the following did not work to sort the entries under stud. 

studs:70 mm roller locations[studs:070 mm]
studs:90 mm roller locations[studs:090 mm]

Where did I go wrong here?
