Placement of seealso-cross refs (with xindy)

Question

Is there a way to have seealso cross references at the end of the index entry as the very last \subitem? They should look something like this:

Fruit
  Apples, 3
  Bananas, 4
  Oranges, 9-10
  see also Vegetables

By default, they are put right at the top of the index entry.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
.\index{Fruit!Apples}\index{Vegetables}\index{Fruit|seealso{Vegetables}}
\printindex
\end{document}

I use xindy and currently have something like this as a custom module:

(markup-crossref-list :class "seealso" :open "~n\subitem\seealso{" :sep "; " :close "}{}")
(define-location-class-order ("roman-page-numbers" "see" "seealso"))

I could, of course, change the order of the subitem entries by hand in the *.ind file since I have to edit it for optimized line and page breaks anyway.

Answer 1

Use like below code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}


.\index{Fruit!Apples}\index{Vegetables}
\index{Fruit!z@\textit{see also} Vegetables} \index{Fruit!banana}

\index{Fruit!Orange}

\printindex
\end{document}

Answer 2

I don’t know, whether this works with xindy, but with makeindex you can do one simple thing as workaround:

Put this index entry somewhere later in the document, where you are sure, that there is a new page created. At the place, where it thematically belongs, you could then add a comment as hint.

Edit:

This MWE works fine here with makeindex. Try it out with xindy.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[latin,english]{babel} % needed for "blindtext",
                                  % "english" is the active language
\usepackage{blindtext,lipsum,kantlipsum}

\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

\begin{document}

\section*{Package \texttt{blindtext}}

\subsection*{English blindtext}\index{blindtext (package)!english}
%%% see below before section "kantlipsum" for
%%% \index{blindtext (package)!english|seealso{kantlipsum}}
\blindtext[1]

\subsection*{Latin blindtext}\index{blindtext (package)!latin}
%%% see below before section "kantlipsum" for
%%% \index{blindtext (package)!latin|seealso{lipsum}}
{\selectlanguage{latin}% note the grouping
\blindtext[1]}

\newpage

\index{blindtext (package)!english|seealso{kantlipsum}}
\index{blindtext (package)!latin|seealso{lipsum}}

\section*{Package \texttt{kantlipsum}}\index{kantlipsum}
%%% see below before "\printindex" for
%%% \index{kantlipsum|seealso{blindtext (package) with english option}}
\kant[123]

\section*{Package \texttt{lipsum}}\index{lipsum}
%%% see below before "\printindex" for
%%% \index{lipsum|seealso{blindtext (package) with latin option}}
{\selectlanguage{latin}% actually not needed here
\lipsum[123]}% note the grouping again

\newpage

\index{kantlipsum|seealso{blindtext (package) with english option}}
\index{lipsum|seealso{blindtext (package) with latin option}}

\printindex

\end{document}

The comments with three percent signs are these, what I called “hints”. If this does not work with xindy, then I’m as clueless as you.

_{But should there be a reason, that this is not possible with xindy?}
