LyX ⇒ nomenclature: sorting the entries!

[newnoise]

Hello!

In writing my reports I'd need to sort the entries in alphabetical order, befor all the english words followed by greek symbol.

Someone knows how to do it within lyx??

Thx!

In the mean time i've found this

Hi Davide,

the document you found is outdated, the nomencl package has been changed in the meantime.
You will find the current documentation here: nomencl.pdf.

Concerning LyX and nomencl have a look here:

• Nomenclature with LyX on wiki.lyx.org,
• Producing a glossary on wiki.lyx.org.

So, with a help of a guy i've found this piece of code to add to the preamble of the document in Lyx:

\usepackage{nomencl}
\RequirePackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{G}}{\item[\textbf{Greek Symbols}]}{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{S}}{\item[\textbf{Subscripts}]}{}}}

Than, when you have to insert a entry for the nomenclature you get a window box divided in 3 spaces (from the top):

- symbol
- description
- sort as

In this last row you have to write g (that stats for greek) followed (without space) with the english correspondet word (if you have beta you would write b)

cheers,

Hello everybody:

My problem is quite more simple. I can´t get the nomenclature list to display. Everything seems to work fine, except when i produce the pdf file, the nomenclature isn´t where it should be.
I have the \usepackage{nomencl} in the pleamble and all that. Still, nothing. What could be happening?

Thanks,

Ale
