Re: [docbook-apps] Glossary sorting in Japanese

[Akagi K <akobayashi@valista.com>]

Further to the glossary sorting issue in Japanese, we are using the id for
glossentry and notice that they DO GET SORTED, but in an arbitrary manner.
Is this a fluke, or is there some sort order that is influencing it? What
might that be, so that I can edit it?

Thanks
