How does the Index sorting work? [message #637468] Fri, 05 November 2010 16:44 Go to next message

Can someone please provide a brief overview of how the Index sorting works? We are having problems with Simplified Chinese not sorting correctly and index entries with accented characters being placed at the end of the Index for French and Spanish.

My understanding is that EclipseHelp combines all the Index contributions into a master index and then sorts. Does it sort the index entries if there is only one Index contribution?

Thanks!

Since Eclipse 3.5 Eclipse has used the com.ibm.icu bundle to perform sorting and this handles accented characters correctly, here is an example from the User Assistance test suite.

I'm not so familiar with the sorting for Chinese.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248079 for more information. If you are using an older version of Eclipse than 3.5 the sorting of international characters will have problems.

Thanks Chris! I was able to find that '248079' bug report before I left on Friday! We are currently using version 3.4.2.

Thanks for the info, I will pass it along!

Are secondary index entries sorted as well? Our French translator is seeing a problem where secondary index entries are not sorted correctly. I've attached a picture. I believe they are using version 3.4.2 as well. In the picture, the secondary entry that begins with "objectif" comes after "Parameters". Does the index just not sort secondary entries or is the lowercase letter throwing things off?

You may need to reattach the image, that did not seem to work. The index should be sorted using the same algorithm at each level.

Sorry about the image Chris!

I think it is a content problem. The one the translator had a question about is an entry inside of an entry. So it would not be sorted with the other top-level entries.

<entry keyword="analyse de sensitivite">
   <topic href="mo/html/analysisparms.htm#p1osti9p7zcm66n1v3do830u5w03"
             title="Parame'tres"
             label="Parame'tres"/>
  <topic

             title="Definir l'objectif"
             label="Definir l'objectif"/>
      <entry keyword="objectif secondaire">
         <topic href="mo/html/analysisparms.htm#p1kx5mrp2sie9on1ceue3p2cghmw"
                title="Options avancees"
                label="Options avancees"/>
      </entry>
</entry>


Thank you for the reply!
