Hi, IIUC, the bib module manual says that \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] will print the publications in the order in which they appear in the bbl file. However, one needs \setupbibtex[sorttype=bbl] \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] to get that behavior (took forever to debug). Minimal example: \setupbibtex[sorttype=bbl] \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] \unprotect \show\@@pbsorttype \protect %\tracingall \starttext \unprotect \show\@@pbsorttype \protect \stoptext (Try commenting on the of the \setup.... lines) Aditya

That sentence is technically correct. It would be wrong if it said: "... in which they appear in the *bib* file". Best wishes, Taco

Yes, it took me a long time to figure that out. I realized that the previous example was wrong. A better example is this: \setuppublications[alternative=apa,sorttype=bbl] does not work because bxml-apa.mkiv is loaded at \starttext and it resets the sorttype. Maybe we need a publicationalternative command \definepublicationalternative[myalternative][apa] %inherits all values from apa \setuppublications[myalternative][sortype=bbl] % change the value of sort type \setuppublications[alternative=myalternative] Aditya
