Is there a simple manner to sort the list externally and get it back for further processing? Otherwise, how are the indexes sorted?
Externally, using texexec functionality. Something like this works well enough, I guess (but I normally sort my stuff by piping it through the unix sort command): % This sorts the list contained in it's argument \def\sortalphacommacommand#1% {\definesorting[listsort][listsorts]% \processcommacommand[#1]\listsort \def\sortedcommalist{}% \def\makesortedlist##1% {\doglobal\appendtocommalist{##1}\sortedcommalist}% \setupsorting[listsort][criterium=all,command=\makesortedlist]% \placelistoflistsorts \let#1\sortedcommalist} \def\citylist{Londen,Berlijn,New York,Parijs,Amstelveen} \sortalphacommacommand\citylist Cheers, taco
