So your example could be: \starttext \index[tipograf\'{i}adig]{tipograf\'{i}a digital} \index[tipograf\'{i}as]{tipograf\'{i}as} \index[idiomadeu]{idioma+de un pasaje} \index[idiomadel]{idioma+del documento} \completeindex \stoptext if you want tipografias digital before tipografias. This works with all mkiv and mkii versions I have, including the ones that I installed today. I use it for a rather comlex three-level index and it works flawlessly (for me).

When alphabetizing surnames, remember that “nothing precedes something”: Brown, J. R., precedes Browning, A. R., even though i precedes j in the alphabet. Singh, Y., precedes Singh Siddhu, N. López, M. E., precedes López de Molina, G. Ibn Abdulaziz, T., precedes Ibn Nidal, A. K. M. Girard, J.-B., precedes Girard-Perregaux, A. S. Villafuerte, S. A., precedes Villa-Lobos, J. Benjamin, A. S., precedes ben Yaakov, D. \stopquotation Of course, these are names, a favorite subject that I share with Hans these days...

S., precedes ben Yaakov, D. Hi Alan, This still puzzles me a bit. You write: “Brown, J. R., precedes Browning, A.R., even though i precedes j in the alphabet.” But isn’t that because “," precedes “i" ? Likewise, when sorting these names (with TeX-Edit Plus), Singh Siddhu, N. comes out before Singh, Y., not the reverse, precisely because, as you say, “nothing precedes something”, or the space between Singh and Siddhu precedes the comma between Singh and Y. Same with López de Molina, G. and López, M. E. Or does ConTeXt, or TeX, have its own sorting order?

E. > > Or does ConTeXt, or TeX, have its own sorting order? Please do not forget the \startquotation\stopquotation. I am citing the APA rules, not stating anything on how ConTeXt (or TeX-Edit or anything else) sorts lists in general. Brown precedes Browning because APA sorts on last names. Singh precedes Singh Siddhu because "nothing precedes something"( Siddhu) López precedes López de Molina for precisely the same reason. Ibn Abdulaziz precedes Ibn Nidal because Ibn is not to be taken into account. Laue, M. von precedes Röntgen, W. C, as well as Van der Waals, J. D. but here things start to get tricky! My point is that sorting lists of course depends on what you are listing. Indexing author names, for example, needs to sort on last names, then first names. Indexing on several levels needs to sort first by the first level, then by the second level, ... When indexing items containing several words, the sorting should go word by word, thus tipografía digital before tipografías This amounts to making whitespace higher precedence than anything else, which I believe was not the case but now is fixed.

* (again) bug in index sorting?

Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext
\index{tipografía digital}
\index{tipografías}
\index{tomato white}
\index{tomatoes red}
\index{idioma+de un pasaje}
\index{idioma+del documento}
\completeindex
\stoptext
Latest beta from 2014.10.31 12:47 sorts the index entries the following way:
tomatoes red
tomato white
Of course, this sample doesn’t make sense, but the entries in Spanish
do. All of them are wrong sorted.
Stable version from 2014.01.03 00:40. The different sorting criterium
seems to have been introduced in beta from 2014.10.22 16:23.
Or shouldn’t be the first word sorted first and then the second one in
index entry?
Could anyone be so kind to confirm the bug?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
