Please help:
I am editing a .tex file (memoir class) with lot of text, and I want to collect sentences like important questions, quotes, words, etc and collect them into their respective groups and be able to put them end of the book.

For example:

.tex file

chapter{xyz}



Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam metus massa, molestie elementum tincidunt at, mollis et quam.

collectQuestion{Donec viverra posuere lorem, ac sagittis eros tincidunt interdum?}

Phasellus feugiat id justo at pretium. 

Duis sed commodo velit. collectPhrase{Cras tempus} fermentum leo, ac congue nisl convallis vel.



chapter{abc}



Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam metus massa, molestie elementum tincidunt at, mollis et quam.

Donec viverra posuere lorem, ac sagittis eros tincidunt interdum.

Phasellus feugiat id justo at pretium. collectQuestion{Sed placerat sodales lorem sed sodales?}

Duis sed commodo velit. Cras tempus fermentum leo, collectPhrase{ac congue nisl} convallis vel.

.pdf file

Questions?

1. Donec viverra posuere lorem, ac sagittis eros tincidunt
   interdum?..pg x


2. Sed placerat sodales lorem sed
   sodales?........................................pg y

Phrases:

Please forgive me slight hints of irony:

"The Memoir Class", which as the basic user manual of memoir has only 611 pages, says that one can do something like this:

Alternatively you can do something that keeps track of the width of the number of the question/phrase/page and saves the width of the widest question-number/phrase-number/page-number into a label from which it can in future LaTeX-runs be retrieved for setting cftqestionnumwidth/cftphrasenumwidth/the width of the hbox that contains the page number:
