We have RoboHelp X5 here with Update 5.0.2. When the help
file is compiled on one workstation, the "Index" tab shows entries
alphabetically. However, from a second workstation it seems to
build based on when items were input into the project (no sorting).
Is there a registry key or option inside the application that
would cause this behavior?
If you click File > Project Settings you will find an
option that may be enabled or disabled. It is called "Binary
Index". A Binary Index is always sorted. A Non-Binary index will be
presented in the order the terms were entered. RoboHelp does offer
an option (if you are using a Non-Binary index) that allows you to
right-click the Index composer and sort the entries.

Is this RoboHelp for Word or RoboHelp HTML? I ask because I
was talking about RoboHelp HTML. Admittedly I was pulling from
memory earlier and your response made me crack open my own copy of
RoboHelp X5 just to check. The options I mentioned are there in X5
just as I had remembered.
Well, there you have it, Rick. The post was under General
Discussion and I didn't think to first ask which way baleib1 is
working. Being myself one of the few living RH5Word dinosaurs, I
probably should have assumed HTML.
Sorry. I'll just go back to sleep (it's been a long week,
this side of the pond...)
Yes, the suggestion actually solved the problem (File >
Project Settings). However, the "Search" tab isn't working. When a
search is performed it cannot find the topic even though it is
present. Any ideas on how to fix?
