Index sorting: offering choices «letter by letter» vs «word by word» vs user defined
When generating an index, InDesign has always use letters by letters sorting. It would be far useful if InDesign Index offer the choice between:
a) letters by letters;
b) Words by Words;
or c) Custom user entry
Having to manually fix multiple level of indexes is painful and make no sense at all with a computer generated content like an Index.
PS: Affinity Publisher is using «words by words» by default.

YES. This is SO ANNOYING when indexing.
Ex.
Sorting this list: Bee Pasture, Beekeeping Books, Bee CityBecomes:
Bee City
Beekeeping Books
Bee PastureI suppose the program is skipping over the spaces and reads each as:
Beecity
BeekeepingBooks
BeePasture
