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.

Subject: Re: [b-hebrew] Alphabetizing
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!
