            Bug ID: 122124
           Summary: EDITING: Show index entries which are names as "<last
                    name>, <first name>" in alphabetical indexes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: plixplox at yahoo.de

If a text contains a name like "Theresa May", and you define it as an index
entry for an alphabetical index, the index entry is not shown as "May,
Theresa", and currently you cannot configure LO Writer to do so.

So I suggest an additional field in the "Insert Index Entry" window below the
"Entry" field. This new field could have the following descripion text: "Term's
spelling in the Alpabetical index", into which one could type "May, Theresa",
as in the example above. 

But "May, Theresa" in the alphabetical index refers to all instances of
"Theresa May", not "May, Theresa" in the text of the document.

Please also make sure that German names like "Freiherr von Zeitgenstein" (a
name containing more than two words; compare with bug issue 122054) can be
definded as "Zeitgenstein, Freiherr von" in such an additional field in
alphabetical indexes, and that this definition ("Zeitgenstein, Freiherr von")
refers to all undeclined and declined instances of "Freiherr von Zeitgenstein"
in the text of the document.
