Hans, I have just discovered the following: \define[1]\indx{#1\index{#1}} \starttext \indx{an} \indx{american} \indx{Aphrodite} \placeindex \stoptext Lowercase letters are placed after its uppercase counterparts. I don’t have (almost) any experience with indices in ConTeXt, but which is the way to turn this off? Sorry, but I don’t see a reason to have this as default. I mean, I have never seen any encyclopedia or dictionary that sorts entries according to letter case. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I believe you want method=default for your \setupregister[index][] options. The allowable values appear to be default, first, last, before, and after. With nothing specified you do not get the same as specifying default. I asked about these a while back but got no answer. There is a cryptic explanation from 2010 at http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg50454.html. -- Rik

Rik, many thanks for your reply. Naming an option default not being the default should have very strong reasons, because I’m afraid that the name is most misleading. Greek word sorting requires extra replacements. Otherwise, sorting is wrong and uppercase and lowecase entries generate two heads. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
