1. Do *not* use \raggedright in the document body (before the index)

2. Do *not* use the flushend package for column flushing

3. Rather than that, uncomment the idxlayout package (which cares for
vertical flushing by default) and add the following package option to
get left alignment: justific=raggedleft

I.e.:

\usepackage[indentunit=1em,hangindent=1em,
            subsubindent=2em,
            justific=raggedright]{idxlayout}

HTH,
Jürgen
