That's different but related story. With index there is no problem with 
sorting but with grouping done on XSLT level. My new code overcomes 
limitions which were present in the previous index grouping code.

With my new code, you can even delete following note from your copy of 
Bob's book (http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/IndexOutput.html):

"Currently the automatic indexing does not handle accented characters 
properly. Characters such as a, à, and ä should sort together, but they 
do not."
