Hi,
I am trying to make an index in Framemaker 7.1 WIN with Danish alphabetical sorting of special characters, but I cannot get the result I want though I have tried all combinations of what is explained in the manual. In Danish we have a character based on two �'s (a double-A) - Aa or aa - which has to be almost in the end of the alphabet just before the last Danish character which is an � (A with a little ring on the top). If I place <Aa> correctly in the index specification on the reference page all words starting with A (the normal one!) move to where I need the Aa to go. I hope someone is getting my point here... it quite hard to explain!

This is the sort order I want:
Aa (normal A)
Bb
Cc
...
Yy
Zz
��
��
<Aa><aa> (Double-A)
��

Thanks in advance.
