Enhance your blog by creating multiple, three-level alphabetical indexes of your posts based on any combination of 
post title, author, extract, tags, categories, or custom fields of your choice. Select which posts are included in your indexes using 
a combination of categories and tags, display them in up to four columns on a single page or over multiple pages.
For example, the AZIndex plugin can be used to:
<ul>
<li>Create an alphabetical index of all your blog posts, based on their titles, using extracts as short descriptions.</li>
<li>Create a music review index, sorted by the name of the artist and the name of their albums.</li>
<li>On blogs with multiple authors, create an index of posts by each author’s name.</li>
<li>Create a full alphabetical index of all your blog’s published pages in seconds with no PHP, HTML, or CSS required.</li>
</ul>
Full list of features:
<ul>
<li>Index blog posts by title, extract, author, or any custom field.</li>
<li>Create indexes for your blog pages. Now you can create a full alphabetical index of every page and post on your site. </li>
<li>Select index contents using a combination of categories and tags.</li>
<li>One, two or three-level entries – heading, subheading, and description, all customizable.</li>
<li>Up to four columns on a page.</li>

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is still a BETA release, meaning that while the plugin is stable and has undergone 
considerable testing, you may encounter some bugs as new features and code are added. I have not been able to test 
all the plugin’s features on all combinations of WordPress versions, browsers, databases, and PHP versions, so 
some problems could remain on some of the many possible configurations. The best thing to do is just give it 
a try!
Please read the Other Notes section before installing.

<h3>Release Notes version 0.8.1</h3>
Minimum versions tested
<ul>
<li>WordPress 2.5 is the minimum required (will not work with older versions of WordPress)</li>
<li>PHP4 (4.4.8) & PHP5 (5.2.6) (will probably work with earlier versions of PHP4 and PHP5)</li>
<li>MYSQL 4.1.22 & MYSQL 5.0.5 (will probably work with earlier versions of MYSQL 4.0 and 5.0)</li>
</ul>
Known issues
<ul>
<li>This plugin supports indexes in non-English languages, but all text is English-only.</li>
<li>The plugin still contains some debug code. It will not affect the behavior or performance of the plugin. It will be removed in later versions.</li>
<li>The wp_nonce functions have yet to be implemented.</li>
</ul>
Changes in version 0.8.1
<ul>
<li>Added new filter: azindex_item_display</li>
<li>Fixed bug in item filter.</li>
</ul>
Changes in version 0.8.0
<ul>
<li>Added support for sorting the index by tag names and category names.</li>
<li>Added four new filters: azindex_item, azindex_display_index, azindex_alpha_links, azindex_page_links</li>
<li>Added sorting of the index table on the Admin Management page.</li>
<li>Disabled the grouping option if no subheading is selected.</li>
<li>Updated pointers to new web site: http://azindex.englishmike.net</li>
<li>Several bug fixes relating to the caching of pages</li>
</ul>
Changes in version 0.7.5
<ul>
<li>Rewritten the upgrade process for when a database table change is required. From now on, the old settings will not be deleted until the plugin has confirmed that the upgrade was successful.</li>
<li>Started internationalizing the text in the plugin. This is the text like “(more)” and “(continued)” that appear on the index page. I will do the admin pages too once the plugin gets closer to being finished. I will, of course, make the POT file available for people to translate into their languages. Just email me the translated files and I will incorporate them into a later release.</li>
<li>Added titles to the links in the alphabetical links and page links in the index (text is included in the POT file)</li>
<li>The headings in the index now link back to the top of the index, not the top of the page. This is more convenient for the user when you have a large heading or a lot of text above the index.</li>
<li>Added a “div” around the whole index and given it the id of “azindex-(index-id)”. This was to let me point the links back to the top of the index, though it’s also a good idea in the long run too. I haven’t given it a class name yet, see below for the reason why.</li>
<li>Fixed a couple of spelling mistakes and some validation issues (there all!)</li>
<li>Fixed the stray end-style tag (now closes the spans properly)</li>
<li>Fixed a problem with the admin page’s custom field text box not appearing in some browers when selected.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the sorting of non-alphanumeric characters.</li>
<li>Fixed the “ignore characters” option which has been almost completely broken since 0.7.0.</li>
<li>Completely rewrote the alphabetical index code so that it doesn’t stop displaying links when the contents of the index are not in the expected order.</li>
<li>And last, but not least, tweaked the multi-column code to fix a problem where it would sometimes not work on IE6/IE7.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
Changes in version 0.5.2
<ul>
<li>Added “escape” parameter to shortcode to allow bloggers (i.e. me) to display the [azindex] shortcode in a post without it turning into an index or error message! (format is: escape=”true” if you want to display the shortcode)</li>
