The run-in paragraph trick works great to include two related paragraphs
in each entry of a regular TOC since the paragraph pairs occur in the
proper order in the book. I use that trick all the time; for example, the
TOC entries for my API reference pages combine separate name and
description paragraphs.

But unfortunately, I don't think this approach will work for an a
alphabetically sorted LOP because the two paragraphs in each pair will
be sorted to different locations in the list based on their content.

Donna, what about defining the first one in the LOP as a run-in head, so
that each pair of headings comes out on one line?
