Dear mailing list, My questions are related to one by Rik a few weeks back (but he did not get an answer yet). I am using the APA style (context version 2018.10.03 16:02). Q1: Shouldn't the order of multiple citations (using a single \cite command) be the same as the order in the publications list? In the example below, the orders are different. Q2: Is there a way to capitalise the first letter of a last name in \cite[...]? For example, this may be necessary when starting a new sentence. But it is also generally preferred in Dutch when the last name starts with 'van' (or something similar). \startbuffer[biblio] @article{PAPER1, author = {First Author}, title = {A paper}, year = {2016} } @article{PAPER2, author = {First Writer}, title = {Another paper}, year = {2017} } @article{PAPER3, author = {Jan van Amsterdam}, title = {Yet another paper}, year = {2018} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \starttext % Order is 3, 1, 2 We refer to \cite[authoryears][PAPER1, PAPER2, PAPER3]. \cite[authoryears][PAPER3] provides background. \blank % Order is 1, 3, 2 (unlike before) \placelistofpublications \stoptext \showbtxdatasetcompleteness Thanks in advance, All the best, Joshua Moerman

In the APA specification, the order of the bibliography list as well as the order of the citations within a pair of parenthesis is to be alphabetical then year ("authoryear"). You can set a different sort order if you do not want to follow the APA specification.
Q2: Is there a way to capitalise the first letter of a last name in \cite[...]? For example, this may be necessary when starting a new sentence. But it is also generally preferred in Dutch when the last name starts with 'van' (or something similar).
You are referring to a "van" or "particle" element of a name. These have specific rules (and all is not straight yet, for these rules depend on the language and are not clear). Alan
Dear Alan,
Q1: Shouldn't the order of multiple citations (using a single \cite command) be the same as the order in the publications list? In the example below, the orders are different.

Both the list and the citation are sorted on "authoryear". But the orders in the pdf are different. Is this a bug in ConTeXT?
Q2: Is there a way to capitalise the first letter of a last name in \cite[...]? For example, this may be necessary when starting a new sentence. But it is also generally preferred in Dutch when the last name starts with 'van' (or something similar).

Yes indeed. I do not need a general solution (as that would be way too complicated). But is there a nice way to fine-tune the rendering on the spot? (In this case, I only need to have the first character capitalised, in a few occasions.) Thank you for your reply, All the best, Joshua Moerman
