Virtually all of my traditional Chinese dictionaries are keyed to
radical-stroke. Some of them have a stroke-only index at one end or
the other, some don't.

My experience is that radical-stroke is the predominant way of doing
"dictionary" order. I don't know, however, how well that extrapolates
to phone books or indices.
