Incorrect index sort order in Japanese

[khirano]

When I build a pdf target in Japanese, the sort order for index is incorrect ...
In Japanese, we should add the readings(kana) for Kanji characters.

For example,
<MS-Word field code>
{XE "Kanji-keyword" \y "kana"}

<Adobe Framemaker>
kanji-keyword[kana]

<DITA>
<indexterm>kanji-keyword<index-sort-as>kana</index-sort-as></indexterm>

I know the index keyword tag is "<MadCap:keyword term="Kanji-keyword" />",
however, I can not find the option parameter for readings(kana)....

If you have any idea, please help me.

There is no answer yet, but we work on the same issue. So, is there a solution? Maybe an undocumented attribute for the Madcap:keyword tag? Or a workaround for manipulating the sort order according to Adobe?
Thanks for any help,

Greetings,

Although I have stealthily been checking this forum for some time, I signed up only last week.

I’ve been in the localization business since 1995, working on Flare localization projects during the last 7 years. In this role, I recently came across the same issue described here, which is why I’m rescuing this old thread for my first post.

Upon inquiring with their support team, Madcap confirmed a few days ago a bug regarding index sorting in Japanese and opened Bug Report #155973 for a potential fix in a future patch or release.

In the meantime, I documented and published my workaround at ramonortega.com/indexja in case it might be of any use.

Comments, rebukes, or questions welcome.

Ramon
