You are not saying *which way* you obtained those orders.
According to
http://ctan.org/pkg/xindy
Xindy was made for sorting multilingual indexes in a better way than makeindex does.

Betreff: [texhax] Multilingual index
I found that with the following preamble
\documentclass[12pt,oneside,openany]{memoir}
\usepackage{index}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\makeindex
I get a an index sorted alphabetically correctly with cyrillic letters being ahead of latin. On the other hand for {book} latin letters are ahead of cyrillic. I find it rather strange. Is it possible to customize an order?
Second, if in English index there is a double spacing between groups of keywords starting with the same letter, in Russian it is not so: double vertical spacing appears only for few letters. Is it possible to fix?
Thanks--
