The Newari Lexicon observes the sort order native to Newari. The Lexicon translates each character in each word into a number that represents its position in the sort order. The numbers for each letter, strung together, create a number that determines the word's sort position.
This table shows the sort positions of characters according to the Classical Sanskrit (CS) conventions and according to the earlier Newari Lexicon / Krodha conventions.
Note: This document uses the Sanskrit Times New Roman font to display the transliterated Roman character representations.
