MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Problem with imakeidx: indentation of subentries wrong

[Nicolaas]

I have a simple index of personal names that I like to format with imakeidx, with standard options.
The surnames are to be left-justified, the first names indented.
However, what I get is that the first subentry under a given surname is properly indented, but the folliwng first names under the same surname are not, thus:
A
Abrahamsen
(3 spaces) John, 34
Peter, 23

where Abrahamson is the surname, John and Peter first names.

Is this standard behaviour of imakeidx? And how to avoid it?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Nicolaas,

it doesn't happen when I use makeidx or imakeidx with default options. I have some examples at the end of the LaTeX Cookbook, Chapter 8, to compare.

Perhaps post some short code here that shows how you are writing it. (minimal working example)
