This is not too much work, if you give me the correct order of all characters (including alif maqsura which appears in words like موسی), I can make it (but it may take a few days, I am currently quite busy).<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_999639442854701730gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/<wbr>wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div>

The sorting order of letters in the index is wrong. The order is according to Arabic, but Urdu has about 9 more letters which are being pushed after the Arabic letters in the index. I couldn't find an option to fix this in the imakeindex style file. It probably should be specified in polyglossia but I don't see a way there either.
