Not an answer to your index question, I'll have a think about that in a
while, but ...
You will solve all your problems by entering the information in alphabetical
order. Why not do it this way?
As I've indicated before, you could type the new information into an empty
template document, then copy/paste it into the correct place in the master
document.
