Alphabetical order in Itemized lists

Post by sai2020 »

Hi,

I have a Glossary and I'd like LaTeX to sort my entries in an alphabetical order. Is it possible?

TIA!

You usually need to use an external application like makeindex or xindy to do the actual sorting. Have a look at the glossaries package. There's an article on it in the Know How section of this forum to get you started.

Another option is to use the gloss package that uses BIBTeX to create glossaries.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
