[Lexicog] sorting order in LexiquePro

[hhthuy]

Please switch Encoding to Unicode UTF-8  -  Dear Colleagues  -   I do find LexiquePro an excellent tool for us, lexicographers. However, there are problems with one of the most important features of the process of making dictionaries - the sorting order. Would its sorting order be more flexible, or leave out the sorting for the dictionary maker to make his/her own sorting program, it would be much better.   I have put some hundred of entries in LexiquePro and found out that problem of sorting.  -  In Vietnamese, we have the following alphabet:   - vowels:   a à  ả ã á ạ ă ằ ẳ ẵ ắ ặ â ầ ẩ ẫ ấ ậ e è ẻ ẽ é ẹ ê ề ể á»
 ế ệ i ì ỉ Ä© í ị o ò ỏ õ ó ọ ô á»" ổ á»— á»` á»™ Æ¡ ờ ở ỡ á»› ợ u ù ủ Å© ú ụ Æ° ừ á»­ ữ ứ á»± y ỳ á»· ỹ ý ỵ -consonants:   b c d Ä` f g h j k l m n p q r s t v w x z     But I cannot put the sorting order in LexiquePro as:   a à  ả ã á ạ ă ằ ẳ ẵ ắ ặ â ầ ẩ ẫ ấ ậ b c d Ä` e è ẻ ẽ é ẹ ê ề ể á»
 ế ệ f g h i ì ỉ Ä© í ị j k l m n o ò ỏ õ ó ọ ô á»" ổ á»— á»` á»™ Æ¡ ờ ở ỡ á»› ợ p q r s t u ù ủ Å© ú ụ Æ° ừ á»­ ữ ứ á»± v w x y ỳ á»· ỹ ý ỵ z     especially cannot put the sorting order of the tone marks, which is 1. [no tone mark]	- like ba     2. `		- like bà      3. ?		- like bả     4. ~		- like bã     5. '		- like bá     6. . [dot under the syllable] - like bạ     because in Vietnamese, we count every word-syllable as one unit with its tone mark included, for example:  bánh  -  bán  - bả  -  bà ng  -  bạt -  bá  -  bát     So if we put the above sorting order in LexiquePro, it will sort:    bà ng  -  bả  -  bá -  bán - bánh - bát  -  bạt    where it must be:     bả  -  bá -  bán -  bà ng  -  bánh  -  bát  -  bạt     How can I solve this problem: export to .rtf or .html and sort there? It must be rather complicated. Any advice are welcome.   Thank you very much.Ho Hai Thuy   Vietnam
