Sub-sorting to make cangjie input codes useful for shape based Chinese character lookup

The challenge with using the cangjie input system as an index is that the first element of a character can be represented by one or two symbols. Thus just relying on the input code isn't enough to create a really useful (and easy to use) index for Chinese characters. Extra sorting is required. And the index pages linked to from this page have been subjected to the sorting required.
