I have Chinese dictionary. Uses some lexicographic combination of "standard" ordering on the radical and number of strokes.
"How do Chinese books order their index?" https://www.quora.com/How-does-a-Chinese-book-orders-its-index … Suggest a big advantage for alphabets. Anyone know differently?

You can also romanize characters and then do an alphabetical sort.

I was told by a Chinese post-doc in Japan that there are sub-parts to the characters, and a traditional order for those.

I've also seen an index ordered by the total number of strokes in the character. I don't recall how ties were broken.

the advantage is definitely there for print books but with computers and search there's no longer a difference right?
