[OS X TeX] makeindex sorts badly with accents

[Ralph Martin]

This is probably common to all versions of tetex, but has anyone else  
noticed that makeindex does not do a very good job of making the  
index when the entries contain accents:

I tried to make an author index , and got the following issues

\v{S}\'{\i}r came before entries starting with A, B, C etc: \v{S}\'{\i}r

and

M\"uller came before Martin

The former definitely looks wrong, and while I am unsure what sorting  
order a real German dictionary uses,  intuitively to me at least, the  
latter also seems wrong.

Comments? Fixes?


Best wishes

Ralph
