Most (all?) indexes are allphabetically arranged. The one in your book
should be, so there shouldn 't really be subentries. If the index in your
file isn't already alphabetized, you could alphabetize ot (using sort).
When people use an index they look for the word or name they want and then
find the page in the text on which that appears. That's why I never
carefully proof an indec. the reader can do a searc for what they want
and will find the page on which to find it.
