RE: Sorting Index alphabetically

Look up xsl:sort.

However, the spec doesn't define the collating sequences that are available,
and these may vary by product. Most products will probably sort "Acdes"
after "abc" by default (just as a dictionary would). In XSLT 2.0 you can
explicitly say
collation="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/collation/codepoint" in
which case characters are sorted according to their Unicode codepoints. This
seems to be what you are looking for.
