I'm not talking about in lexicons, but list in general.
Like if you are looking at a listing of books in Hebrew with points how 
would they be listed, or names in a phone book, etc.
I assume that there has to be a standard for putting pointed hebrew 
words in alphabetical order.
That is what I am asking about.

Thanks.
