I'm trying to establish a workflow for a LaTeX project and haven't figured out how to use makeidx or imakeidx packages to sort UTF-8 encoded index by languages not covered in the section supported languages/codepages of texindy.

So I decide to run my main tex file with \makeindex in the preamble and wrote a script ^[1] that overwrites the .idx file to my liking.

Now I have to convert the .idx into .ind, but everytime I invoke makeindex or texindy they output .ind files that changes the order specified in my .idx file.

Is there a way to ask makeindex or texindy to generate .ind file in accordance to the order of entries specified in the .idx file?
Is there a way to provide custom groups that are not really based on letters, preferably by further modifying the .idx file or calling texindy? I realize that \lettergroup exists.

^{[1]: Locale-aware sorting of tuples by first splitting each row in .idx by '!'}

Just found a relevant answer. Seems like it's worth a try. I'll post the script if this new idea works. – Frenzy Li Jun 23 '18 at 03:42
