Hi, I found a bug in the mkiv code with the \definsorting macros. When I try to output the sorted list with \placelistofsorts ConTeXt give me only the name of the sort list but not the list entries. \definesorting[test][tests] \starttext \test[One]{one} \test[Two]{Two} \test[Three]{3} text \One\ text \Two\ text \Three\ text \placelistoftests \stoptext This bug did also appear with the synonym mechanism. The old mkii code works as expected but I found a interestins side effect of the old mechanism. ConTeXt writes the whole list entries in galley files and one can misuse this to output the list of synonyms before the commands are definied;-) \definesynonyms[test][tests][\testtext] \starttext %\placelistoftests \test[One]{one}{number one} \test{Two}{Two} \test{Three}{Three} text \One\ text \Two\ text \Three\ text \testtext{One} text \placelistoftests \stoptext Wolfgang
