            Bug ID: 140186
           Summary: Index needs to ignore diacritics when alphabetising
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: greenandpleasant2000-support at yahoo.co.uk

A serious limitation of alphabetical indexes is that there is no option to
ignore diacritics. This means that words beginning with A, Ā, À, Á  etc. are
indexed under DIFFERENT alphabetical delimiters! In fact, they should all be
treated as starting with the letter "A", and placed under the same delimiter.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic#Alphabetization_or_collation
(wikipedia).

(This issue was raised in Bug 131315, but, on reflection, needs to be treated
as a separate issue to prevent it getting "lost in the post").
