Sorting a set of words alphabetically is not the same thing as creating
an index. (Believing these are the same is one of the more common
misconceptions that beginning editors need to unlearn.)
what exactly is the difference? in case of DF you have four indices (is that gramatically correct?) and you have to combine them into one. that means you have four different sets of data consisting ( a bit simplified) of a string and a number. updating numbers should be easy as this is going to be a compendium. so you would have to add the number of pages of supplement one to the page numbers of supplement two and so on.
then you have to combine it via a simple sorting algorithm (considering that some entries might occur more than once, so you would have to mofify some of those entries accordingly).

what else is there to do?
