Glossary sorting in Japanese

Hi Docbook Nabblers

I'm looking for advice on how to sort Japanese words using
the ja.xml file. 
Is it possible to set a glossary term and hide it from view
but still be
picked up for sorting?
Then it may be possible to set the glossterm in hiragana or
katakana
invisibly when the actual term uses kanji.

Thanks
Akagi

You can use baseform attribute on glossterm for this
purpose. The
problem is that stylesheets currently ignore this attribute.
Please
submit new RFE at Sourceforge site.

Moreover it would be better to provide another attribute
called sortas
to provide different form of term for sorting purposes. I
will add RFE
for adding this attribute to DocBook V5.
