Subject: Indexing...

Most of the translated classics   have indexes in Chinese.  For example, the
whole collection of Marx & Engels and those of Hegel or Adam Smith, etc.

The Indexes are mostly organized by alphabet (ABCD..., not bo po mo fe).  Then
under each major entry, there are sublevels of indexes also in alphabetical
order.   Indexes are put into categories such as Author Index, Book Index and
Periodical Index or Historical Events/Biographies Index, etc.  I believe
they are based on the original publications.

To what I am aware of, most Chinese software packages allow users to switch
between Chinese and Roman mode.  If that's the case, indexing in alphabetical
order by pinyin should be a widely acceptable way.
