Index of Markers

[Rick Quatro]

Hi K'Chebe,

 

FrameMaker does an ASCII sort instead of a numeric sort. You can force a sort order in a marker entry by adding the desired sort in square brackets. For example, you would use

 

5 [005]

7 [007]

9 [009]

10 [010]

11 [011]

15 [015]

 

to get the correct sort order.

 

If you have a lot of markers, I can write a script that will automate the entry of the sort keys. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

I have an index of markers that I am having an issue with.  I would have thought that sort order, by default , would allow my numbers to sort in the following fashion; 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15. Instead it is doing 10, 11, 15, 5, 7 and 9.  To me it appears that framemaker is instead looking at the fist digits.  Does  anyone know how to change the index sorting to give me the correct results?
