Hello, I've prepared a short paper discussing the sort mapping feature of xindy. The current implementation seems to be not powerful enough to handle arbitrary sorting rules. This problem is in my opinion imporant enough to be discussed in this mailing list. The discussion paper and additional information about the problem can be found in the section "Discussion" on the xindy homepage http://www.iti.informatik.th-darmstadt.de/xindy You are welcome to send your comments to this mailing list.
