Actually, I cannot figure out how \writetolist works. According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/writetolist, the 2nd argument is the "number". But, for some reason, the list number doesn't show in placelist:


\definelist[test]

\starttext

\placelist[test][criterium=all, alternative=b]

\writetolist[test]{1}{One}
\writetolist[test]{2}{Two}

\stoptext

This gives

One        1
Two        1

while I was expecting

1 One       1
2 Two       1

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Aditya
