Order of Terms in EXPAND Displays

The terms in an EXPAND display appear in sorted order according to the index. The character sort order for index entries is as follows:

1. <space>

2. punctuation < ( ) * – % etc.

3. alphabetical characters (A-Z)

4. numbers (0-9)

In Additional Indexes that are numerically indexed, the entries in an EXPAND display are in numeric order following the field prefix code.

• Punctuation precedes letters in EXPAND:
