No, that was not intended. Entries are only sorted within a glossdiv. The
stylesheet doesn't know what glossdivs are used for, so it should not
automatically sort between them as well. What you want is a single
glossary in the source XML, and a stylesheet that generates alpha divisions
in the output, the way indexing works. That's a nice feature request. 8^)

Subject: [docbook-apps] [SPAM] Glossary Sorting: Working as Intended?
> Hi there,

> Our glossary is divided into <glossdiv>s, one for each initial letter.
> glossentries within a glossdiv are sorted correctly; for example, if I
> put "account" after "aggregate", the resulting PDF shows the entries in
> the correct order.

> However, if I put "account" into the <glossdiv> for "B", this entry isn't
> moved to the correct position in the glossdiv for "A". I was just curious
