You can use "Sort As" links for glossaries. This is similar to using "Sort As" index links (see Creating Index Links).
"Sort As" links can be useful for several reasons. You can use them if a keyword begins with a symbol (e.g., place <html> in the "h" section, instead of at the top) or if you want to sort acronyms based on their full spelling. You can also use "Sort As" links when working with multilingual documents, such as when you are using character sets that should be sorted phonetically.
When your glossary is displayed in the output (e.g., the Glossary window pane for Tripane output), by default terms are shown alphabetically. However, you can use the "Sort As" field in the Properties dialog to force a particular term to be displayed where you want it. This is especially useful if you are using "Sort As" links in your index, and you want words that appear in both places to be sorted in the same way.
See Creating Glossary Terms and Definitions.
Example You add the term "<html>" to your glossary. Because this word starts with a symbol, it would normally be sorted using the symbol. However, you want to sort it using the H. After you enter the term in your glossary, you add "html" as a "Sort As" term.
When you publish your output, the term is sorted correctly.
