Statement of problem or objective:
The index sort today does not work based on language - it appears that all terms are sorted based on English. The sort should work for the appropriate language.

Is this architecture, function, fix, or other?
function/fix

Goals of this proposal:
DITA Maps that are not English will generated an index that is sorted based on the specified language.

Use cases:
If DITA content is translated into Swedish, words in the index may use the characters å, ä, and ö. In English, the default sort places these with the A and O characters. In Swedish, these three letters are sorted at the end of the alphabet, after Z.

Problem:
