Right, but that would be extremely annoying to type in all the time :-)

I'm looking for a more automated solution, but given that even you don't know one, it seems I have to write some sorting mechanism myself.

Or perhaps use the trick above as the input is XML, and the verses are clearly marked, so I could generate ConTeXt with the proper sort codes.

Who does the index sorting, is that texexec?

in mkii yes, and in mkiv it's done in lua if you go for xml, an duse mkiv, then you can write your own sorting code as you can access the tree Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
