sorting footnotes alphabetically

sorting footnotes alphabetically

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

I read in strc-not.mkvi that footnotes can be treated as lists. And the
reference manual deals in section 12.3 with sorting lists.

My basic sample is the following:

\definenote[dict]
\setupnotation[dict][number=no]
\starttext
This is my dictionary\dict{dictionary: vocabulario}
command\dict{command: orden} for a complex\dict{complex: complejo}
text\dict{text: texto}.
\stoptext

What I'm trying to achieve is that the \dict footnotes are sorted
alphabetically.

Adding the code from sorted lists, I get the following:

\definesorting[meaning][meanings]
\setupsorting[meaning][criterium=all]
\definenote[dict]
\setupnote[dict][number=no,command=\placelistofmeanings]
\setupnotation[dict][number=no,command=\meaning]
\starttext
This is my dictionary\dict{dictionary: vocabulario}
command\dict{command: orden} for a complex\dict{complex: complejo}
text\dict{text: texto}.
\stoptext

It compiles fine, but the footnotes aren't alphabetically sorted.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

I’m sorry to disappoint you but notes can’t be sorted.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I think that there are cases in which a sorting ability in notes would
be much helpful (mainly to order the vocabulary from the text of a page).

Thanks for the reply again,


Pablo
