For in Russian these dots are considered highly optional, and
e with dots (pronounced o or yo - a spelling rule prescribes this instead of o after certain letters when stressed) is not a separate letter of the alphabet (contrast i kratkoe, Cyrillic i with breve, which
is a fully separate letter from i).



That’s wrong, Peter. The letter «ё» is a separate letter. Please don’t spread your wrong assumptions in the list.



I meant this in the sense that the two letters are interfiled in dictionaries, e.g.

елейный
ёлка
еловый
ёлочный
ель

At least this is the ordering in my Collins Russian dictionary, and I understand it to be the standard Russian ordering. Am I wrong here? By contrast, и and й are not interfiled.
