Hi all, I have prepared a couple of modules for sorting indexes according to the spanish rules, es-moder.xdy follows the modern ordering, with the a-z alphabet plus ñ between n and o es-tradi.xdy follows the traditional ordering, with the a-z alphabet, plus ñ between n and o, ch as a single letter between c and d, and ll as a single letter between l and m. This files seem to work in my examples. I am not an expert in xindy, so any suggestion is highly welcome. Congratulations to the xindy team, I am finding it very useful. I intend to speak a bit about it in a spanish TeX workshop to be held in september, with a general overview and its application to spanish. I am sure people will like it.
