sort order in an index

[Kristen Abbott]

Hi all,

I have a document with bug numbers entered as index entries. (I could
use a custom marker type, but the same question applies...)

Can I change the sort order of an index to list the page number of the
index (or custom marker) entry FIRST, instead of the actual entry text?

I have tried various things on the Reference page for the IOM file to no
avail. Namely, I've tried inserting the <$pagenum> system variable in
different places in the *ActiveIOM field, the *SortOrderIOM field, and
the Level1IOM field. Nothing has made the tiniest difference.

TIA,
Kristen Abbott
