yes, seems like they are sorted by tag. But that’s not useful, since you cannot use numbers in a tag. This tag is just the workaround for abbreviations that include numbers.

Hi everyone,

I think I've found a sorting bug in \completelistofabbreviations in the
latest LMTX (and probably also MKIV). When using this minimal example

\abbreviation[OTT]{123}{One, Two, and Three}
\abbreviation{ABC}{A, B, and C}
\abbreviation{ZYX}{Z, Y, and X}

\starttext
\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all]
\stoptext

I get

ABC    A, B, and C
123    One, Two, and Three
ZYX    Z, Y, and X

Numbers should go before letters. Do you know any workaround/fix for
that?

aren't they sorted by the tag ?

By default the synonim is the tag; only the first one has an explicit tag (OTT)  

so the order  is ABC, OTT,  ZXY, which looks ok.
