Hi all,

I am currently working on a dictionary with multiple indices of older 
language stages like, Old English, Old Norse, Greec, Sanskrit, Hittite, 
etc. Most of these languages have different characters, accents and 
sorting rules than English. In enco-ini.tex I found the \definesortkey 
command, but it is not entirely clear to me how I could use this 
command for the individual indices instead of  for the overall language 
(in my case english). Or even if this is possible at all?

Could someone tell me how I can use the \definesortkey command or for 
that matter any other ConTeXt mechanism to define sortrules for 
individual indices?

Regards Sjoerd

PS why does Texutil strip accents \'  \~  \` \" \^ but not \= ?
