Modify Indexes Guidelines
If you change the index number
directly or in the Modify Index dialog box, the Index remains in
the same location in the list. It may now be out of order. You can
resort the list to put the new number in the correct order.
When you select the Index Colors
tab after you save your changes, if:
No description has been entered
for a color in the RGB Editor, the RGB value and percent opacity
display next to the color;
A description has been entered,
that description displays next to the color.
