maybe \setupfloats[numbering=nocheck] does what you want
I think I want the opposite. The documentation for \setupfloats at http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ says
New option: numbering yes nocheck (default yes) nocheck causes no renumbering so it preserves figure's source order
My problem was that the source order (which is the order of first reference, probably) is not the order on the page. The wide figure floats to the top of the page (because it's wide) even though its source position is later than the narrower figure that fits in the margin.
So 'numbering=yes' will number according to position on the page?
no, actually floats will be renumbered automatically unless nocheck is given; the problem is that the order in which margins etc flush plays a role then. I can imagine another solution but i need a dark rainy non-busy day for that 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
