Okay, so there ain't no simple method... I just used LibreOffice Calc to 
sort the whole index, usable but not ideal.
Therefore generate ToCs, copy the whole generated register into Cell A1 
and Calc will recognize tabs and put each entry in a new line with the 
page numbers in column B. Then sort column A alphabetically and copy 
columns A and B, paste them in your register text frame and apply your 
register style with F2->Styles. Bob's your uncle!
