Index not generated in an Arabic document

Question

In the shown MWE, I cannot determine why the index is not generated, although the code is very simple, no room for any conflicts, I am using LUALATEX to compile the file

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[nil,bidi=basic-r,layout=counters.lists]{babel}
\babelprovide[import=ar,mapdigits,main]{arabic}
\babelprovide[import=en,language=Default]{english}
\babelfont[arabic]{rm}{Amiri}
\babelfont{rm}{Times New Roman}
\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex

\begin{document}
\chapter{سسسييسسييس}
\section{ مقدمة}
\section{مقدمة عن تاريخ الكتابة المصرية القديمة}
\section{مقدمة عن تاريخ الكتابة المصرية القديمة}
\clearpage
\section{مقدمة عن تاريخ الكتابة المصرية القديمة}

Answer 1

An example of creating index on arabic document with context, it is availible on texlive so if you are using miktex you need to change it to texlive.

The first run of context will take a while, you can use texworks which provides option for context compilation

More about indexing on context https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers

Answer 2

both biber and bib2gls can sort arabic. I can't read the script, so I have no idea if the sorting is done correctly.

Example for bib2gls

Compile with

  lualatex file
  bib2gls file
  lualatex file

\documentclass{article}

%\usepackage{filecontents} %uncomment to oeverwrite the bib

\begin{filecontents}{arabindex.bib}
% Encoding: UTF-8
@entry{A,
  name = {أبجد},
  description = {Alphabetize}}

@entry{B,
  name = {بسملسامية},
  description = {nonsense}}

@entry{X,
  name = {سملسامية},
  description = {nonsense2}}  
@entry{I,
  name = {بسم},
  description = {In nomine Domini}}        
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[bidi=basic-r,layout=counters.lists]{babel}
\babelprovide[import=ar,mapdigits,main]{arabic}
\babelprovide[import=en,language=Default]{english}
\babelfont[arabic]{rm}{Amiri}

\usepackage[record=only]{glossaries-extra}

\GlsXtrLoadResources[selection={all},%
            src={arabindex},%
            sort={ar},
            sort-field={name},
            charset=UTF-8,%
            ]
\begin{document}

\gls{B}, \gls{I} \gls{A} \gls{X}

\printunsrtglossaries 

\end{document}

Example for biber

Compile with

  lualatex file
  biber file
  lualatex file

This shows only the principle, to be usable as index one would have to add some more entry types and fields and adapt the drivers.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{filecontents}{arabbiblatex.bib}
% Encoding: UTF-8
@article{A,
  author = {أبجد},
  title = {Alphabetize}}

@article{B,
  author = {بسملسامية},
  title = {nonsense}}

@article{X,
  author = {سملسامية},
  title = {nonsense2}}
@article{I,
  author = {بسم},
  title = {In nomine Domini}}
\end{filecontents}


\usepackage[bidi=basic-r,layout=counters.lists]{babel}
\babelprovide[import=ar,mapdigits,main]{arabic}
\babelprovide[import=en,language=Default]{english}
\babelfont[arabic]{rm}{Amiri}

\usepackage[style=authortitle]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{arabbiblatex.bib}

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

\end{document}
