In Unicode order, the Shin dot (U+05C1) comes before the Sin dot (U+05C2),
but in MS keyboard layout order, Sin dot (Caps-Shift-9) comes before Sin dot
(Caps-Shift-0). MS Word sorts according to the Unicode order (Shin before
Sin), with priority given to the vowels over the Shin/Sin dot. Whether that
matches Academy of the Hebrew Language standards or not, I can't say.

Thank you very much!!!
This is exactly what I needed.

I do haven an additional question. How is the Sin/Shin handled?

I assume the the Sin comes before the Shin, but how does that play
with the vowels? Is the word alphabetized by the vowel first, then the
Sin/Shin - or is it alphabetized first by the Sin/Shin, then the vowel?

For example:
$"M
&FM

Vowel-wise $"M comes first, Sin/Shin-wise &FM comes first. So which
has the priority?

Thanks!

If you are asking or looking for something simple I would say:

1. shewa
2. hatef-segol
3. hatef-patah
4. hatef-qamats
5. hireq
6. tsere
7. segol
8. patah
9. qamats
10. holem
11. qubuts

This is the official vowel sorting order, stated by the
Academy of the Hebrew Language.
