I created a custom index that displays a list of "Important Dates" appearing in my book. It lists the year, a short description of what happened, and should show the page number. I'm running into two errors though: First, if the date is the same year, it is sorting alphabetically, example,,,, \dateis{1900s+1912}{Yet another event happened} \dateis{1900s+1912}{Another event happened} ...will print the wrong one first in the index.. 1912 - Another even happened 1912 - Yet another event happened. Is there a way to manually tell it to display one first? I don't want to add visible month and day details, that would be even more confusing to the index as I have to print it in American order. Second, when it compiles it is not printing the page number, instead prints "[Entry not flushed]". -- Joel Here is my minimum working example: \defineregister[listdates][compress=yes] \setupregister[listdates][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=1, pagenumber=yes] \define[2]\dateis{% \listdates{#1~\emdash ~#2}% }% \starttext \dateis{1900s+1911}{Some event happened} \dateis{1900s+1912}{Yet another event happened} \dateis{1900s+1912}{Another event happened} \startchapter[title=Important Dates] \placelistdates \stopchapter \stoptext
