VIETNAM INDEX

[Michael Zaichenko]

Hello all,
 
I'm having "fun" generating index for a Vietnamese manual and I could use some help. Actually... HELP!!!
For those who is not familiar with vietnamese - the alphabet contains 18 letters A with all manner of accents, 12 letters E and about same for O and U - so obviously we can't talk about normal <$alphabetics> on the reference page. I set up reference page with the whole sequence of letters as they would need to appear by alphabet and Frame does generate index in a correct sequence. Ref. page looks something like that: AaĀāĂ㥹 Bb Cc Dd ĒēĔĕĖė Ff Gg... etc.
Now, the problem is that for some reason FrameMaker thinks that some letters are identical to each other and sorts them as if they were the same so you would end up with
 
tổn thương:sự kiệt sức và
tổn thương:sự tái kích thích của
 
sorted as:
 
tổn thương, 15
          sự kiệt sức và, 90, 54
 
the way I noticed something was wrong was that the page numbers appear out of sequence. Checked and saw that two totally different entries sorted as one.
 
Has anyone run into doing this kind of stuff?
 
Can someone help?
 
Michael
