It works!

I would prefer to use an entity like

<!ENTITY primATP "<primary sortas='ATP'>ATP,
(Adenosin-Tri-Phosphat)</primary>" >

But I get the idea. I was not aware if the "sortas" attribute, therefore
the question.

Thanks a lot.

Using a pure markup language, rather than a Turing-complete
macro-expanding programming language, has its merits and its drawbacks.

Why don’t you use the established internal subset mechanism for
centralizing these indexterm definitions?

Example:
<!ENTITY idx_ATP "<indexterm><primary sortas='ATP'>ATP,
(Adenosin-Tri-Phosphat)</primary></indexterm>" >

You can think of other methods for avoiding repetition, for example,
(mis-) using <xref> for pointing to the first occurrence of an
indexterm with a certain content:

<indexterm xml:id="idx_ATP"><primary sortas='ATP'>ATP,
(Adenosin-Tri-Phosphat)</primary></indexterm>
…
<xref linkend="idx_ATP"/>

but then you can’t use DocBook XSL’s rendering out of the box.
