Setting up letters in the alphabetic index
Changing the Letter Order
The index will respect the order in which you place the letters in the "Letters in alphabetic index" setting. This is useful for languages that contain characters not present in the English alphabet, such as "ż", "ß", "ø" and so on.
You can also select which letter that should be the preselected letter.
