Hello Johan. I wonder whether it would be better to have a list of telephone numbers in an external file (eg csv file) that can handle aplication such as Excel or Calc. The list is sorted by this instrument and ConTeXt would just typed data from external file. For practical reasons it would be better to have that list in an external file. I do these things with my scancsv.lua tool. Now I finishing module for ConTeXt. see http://public.hajtmar.com/?cesta=JRsVFQdsBhwIWyAGFFsAJkBJQURsAgsVByYcDREAKh0...

I am maintaining a small vademecum for my workplace. One of the things it contains is a list of handy phone numbers, which should be sorted. Until now I have used the attached hack. It has worked reasonably well until the directory outgrew the one page. Before I start to modify my hack it occurred to me that ConTeXt most likely has a machinery for this already. It is a sort of register, after all. I have looked in the manual at registers and sorted lists but have not been able to find what I want. The desired specifications are:
1. columns (to save space) 2. sorted (in a correct Swedish order) 3. spans several pages
Thanks for any pointers, Johan
