MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ How to make a reverse dictionary via `glossaries` package?

[MiriamYeung]

Hi, dear friends,

I want to compile an new English terms on my proffesional field collections. It's much like a dictionary but in reverse sort of words for learning convenience, e.g.

...
romance ...
...(other words whose root is "-ance")
science ...
...
romantic ...
...
Titantic ...
...
scientific ...

I am going to write the words as follow

Code: Select all

\newglossaryentry{romantic}{name=romantic,
description={(corresponding paraphrase)}
}

but can't find any sort option fit my demand. Please give me a hand.

With the latest version of glossaries (v3.0) there's a new package option called sort. You can use this to sort the entries according to order of definition (sort=def) or order of usage (sort=use), if that helps.
