I remembered seeing something about this on the RoboHelp forums, so I 
went back and checked. Apparently
- right-clicking the index and selecting "Sort" from the context menu 
sorts the index
- checking "Binary Index" in Project / Settings makes sure the index is 
always sorted.

Weird, really. Surely a sorted index should be the default.

The forums are fairly helpful on the whole - check them out if you 
haven't already:
