index sort accented letters after normal letters (after "Z")! Is there a way to put them in a more logical position? For example "àncora" is put after "Zorro", instead of in the "a" section. I don't like it.

    The usual approach is to provide a sort argument. For the example you give, that would be \index{ancora@àncora}.

  • @Barbara This is great but I have used a \newcommand for highlighting a word and put it on the index, and I'm not sure it works this way. My \newcommand is \newcommand {\voce}[1] {{\color{BrickRed}\emph{#1}}\index{#1}}

    You will need a dedicated command for the collation: \newcommand{\voced}[2] {{\color{BrickRed}\emph{#1}}\index{#2}}. Alternatively, using expl3 code, you can split at any @ and then feed a \voced-type command its two parameters in all cases. @egreg is pretty handy at expl3 and already has some token-splitting-related answers on this site. Unrelated: to ping somebody who is not the OP, I think the full user name without spaces must be used: e.g., @barbarabeeton.

    Depending on how your command \voce is used, my first reaction would be to define a second command, perhaps \Voce, with three arguments, the added one being the sort value. Without more specific information in the question, preferably a small compilable example. too much guesswork is involved to be able to devise a usable answer.
