I discovered that the problem also occur for alphabetic entries when the first letter is one of the non-ASCII norwegian letters. The entry 'åndsverkloven' is sorted along the numeric entry. See example docbook file with UTF-8 encoding attached. The same problem do not occur with docbook-xsl, which incorrectly sort å alongside a in the index. :( -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
