Sort order of entries in an index

[Lester C. Smalley]

Linda, 

Try adding a space before the opening square bracket of the sort order:

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

Also, it may help if you specify the FM version, OS and platform that
you're working with just in case there are subtle differences (e.g.
"platform dependencies") of which readers here are aware.

| Do the first two really look like that? I'd have thought the sort
order
| for an index level would need to be specified at that level, e.g.:
| 
| 70 mm stud[070 mm]:roller locations
| 90 mm stud[090 mm]:roller locations
| 
| And to control sort order of the second-level entries, I'd think this
| would work:
| 
| studs:70 mm roller locations[070 mm]
| studs:90 mm roller locations[090 mm]
| 
| But I'm guessing -- no promises. :-)
