Lester is on the right track...
He said this:
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]
The spaces don't affect the sorting. The importing thing to note is that
the item included in the square brackets must be a complete index entry.
Lester's example is a complete entry in the square brackets, so his
example should sort correctly.
Another common problem with re-sorting is that once Frame encounters the
set of square brackets, it stops parsing the entry. That's why you can't
have entries that look like this:
studs: 70 mm[070 mm]: roller
Instead, the re-sorting should appear at the end:
studs: 70 mm: roller[studs: 070 mm: roller]
Hope this helps.
