[publican-list] sortable lists, esp. glossaries

[Fred Dalrymple]

Thanks for the pointer (I didn't look far enough back in the archives). 

In general, if there is no automated programmatic solution, then I'd probably introduce an external file that would point at entries that didn't follow the programmatic default and provide either a clue or explicit sorting key -- think RDF resources (though I'm partial to Topic Maps). Perhaps verbose, but if a machine can't figure it out automatically, what can you do? 

Actually, I'd assumed this in the solution because I'm thinking about non-alphabetic sorting needs, like the order of introduction of terms, perhaps on a per-topic basis (and yes, enabling solutions in forms other than print). 

thanks -- 

Fred
