Hi Ken, I'm starting to hear of this more--I know of at least two university presses that prefer this style. It seems to make the most sense when the book is...
For this to work the way Ken wants it (with main headings still alphabetized, if I understand this correctly), the page field would have to be in the second...
Scott Awesome, thank you. One change to what you said and that is to place Page under Main (not at the top). This is probably for one of the university presses...

Thanks, but I think that solution may throw off the compositor. However, it did give me an idea. Maybe I can add a symbol not used in the index and replace...
