Problem

Symptoms: A customer created a concordance file that had the word branch followed by a branch number in each entry. He sorted this file by number and then saved it. Then he generated his index using this concordance file, and the branch numbers were out of order. Solutions: This is working as designed; the generate feature sorts an index alphanumerically. This means that it will place numeric items not in order of least to greatest, but rather in order of 0-9 for each character of the number, i.e., 10 before 9 because the number 1 comes before the number 9 when evaluating the first character.
