SortParagraphs seems to use different sets of rules in determining the sorting order of hyphenated words and quotes. I sorted the following in InDesign’s SortParagraphs.applescript and compared the result with Excel and BBEdit. The latter two are the same.
InDesign Result:
| Bacon-Feta Chicken Rolls |
| Bacon Mushroom Chicken |
| Cheddar Chicken Spaghetti |
| Chicken-Pesto Pan Pizza |
| Chicken and Barley Boiled Dinner |
| Chicken ‘n’ Chilies Casserole |
Excel, BBEdit Results:
| Bacon Mushroom Chicken |
| Bacon-Feta Chicken Rolls |
| Cheddar Chicken Spaghetti |
| Chicken ‘n’ Chilies Casserole |
| Chicken and Barley Boiled Dinner |
| Chicken-Pesto Pan Pizza |
I read the guidelines in www.niso.org/publications/tr/tr03.pdf and it appears to me that Excel and BBEdit follow the rules stated in the guidelines.
Any comments or suggestion to make InDesign to sort the way Excel and BBEdit do?
