I have this list of abbreviations and everything works fine except for pcrs and ip3. I tried to change \ce{IP3} to ip3 but it doesn't change place. I also tried to change or erase pcrs but I get an error and I get an empty line. Can someone help me with these exceptions to make my list alphabetically ordered?

This argument needs a separate sort field; I don't know offhand how to provide that. Similarly "RT-PCR" has a sort fieldpcrsso it will sort with "P". Look for items where the sort field is different from the string to be listed. – barbara beeton Dec 08 '20 at 04:44makeglossariesagain? Because if you change the name of an entry and recompile, the name will change but the ordering will not. Runningmakeglossariestakes care of the alphabetical sorting. – cktai Dec 08 '20 at 09:29
