Dear Framers:
I am certain I have seen this query answered before and am ashamed not to be 
able to lay my hands on the email from this group.

I am happily generating indexes, but many of my sublevel entries are volume 
numbers. I must sort these according to the Bates system, i.e. 10 is after 1 
and 100 is after 99. I see that in the FM help screen that the default 
numbers sorted are "0, 1 to 9." Can I change that to include 10? How?

I would like my index to look like

Volumes
    1........................................56
    2........................................66
    10......................................45
    99......................................34
    100....................................33

Running FM 7.2 with updates on XP,

Thanks for an excellent listserv; I have not crashed FM for 6 weeks!

Rob
