# [NTG-context] itemize columns transposed

Hi!

I wonder if it is possible to automatically have the itemize in
columns and have the order changed (in effect, the whole itemization
should be transposed) so that one gets

a  b  c
d  e  f

a  c  e
b  d  f

With automatically, I mean that one could use some keyword instead of adding a
\stopitemize\startitemize[continued] in the middle (found here:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Multicolumn)

See the example below, resulting pdf is attached.

\starttext

\startitemize[a,columns,three,intro][stopper=,right=)]
\item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$
\item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$
\item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$
\item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$
\item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$
\item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$
\stopitemize

\input tufte

\startitemize[a,columns,three,intro][stopper=,right=)]
\item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$
\item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$
\item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$
\stopitemize
\startitemize[continue]
\item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$
\item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$
\item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$
\stopitemize
