* How to manually adjust the sort order of items appearing in a custom index?

It lists the year, a short description of what happened, and should show the page number. I'm running into two errors though: First, if the date is the same year, it is sorting alphabetically, example,,,, \dateis{1900s+1912}{Yet another event happened} \dateis{1900s+1912}{Another event happened} ...will print the wrong one first in the index.. 1912 - Another even happened 1912 - Yet another event happened. Is there a way to manually tell it to display one first? I don't want to add visible month and day details, that would be even more confusing to the index as I have to print it in American order. Second, when it compiles it is not printing the page number, instead prints "[Entry not flushed]". -- Joel Here is my minimum working example: \defineregister[listdates][compress=yes] \setupregister[listdates][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=1, pagenumber=yes] \define[2]\dateis{% \listdates{#1~\emdash ~#2}% }% \starttext \dateis{1900s+1911}{Some event happened} \dateis{1900s+1912}{Yet another event happened} \dateis{1900s+1912}{Another event happened} \startchapter[title=Important Dates] \placelistdates \stopchapter \stoptext [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1658 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 493 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
