The first step is to modify the sort keys by counting the number of di= gits in the page number:=A0
thus,
[AuthorText01] for pages 1=969,=A0
[AuthorTe= xt02] for pages 10=9699, and so on

The next is to = insert the command =93 \ab=94 (note the space) when the line number is a si= ngle digit:=A0
thus=A0
391. \ab{}2 but 391.12 in the entry specification {A= uthor+Text+page.line}

For \ab, I have:
<= br>
\newdimen\digitwidth
\setbox0=3D\hbox{\tfx\cha= r32}
\digitwidth=3D\wd0

\def\ab{\tfx\kern-\digitwi= dth}

The hitch here is that the font size is= not context dependent.

I have been trying to index the passages cited in a book and would be grate= ful for some tactical advice.

There are several works by= a single author, and it is customary to cite each text by page and line nu= mber, as in 1253.12 (page 1253, line12), for example.

I have a sort key for each work. But now I need a way t= o get the entry

1253.7 (page 1253, line 7) before = the entry
1253.12 (page 1253, line 12).

\[Passage[AuthorText]{Author+Text+1253.07}1253.7 or
\[Passage[Aut= horText]{Author+Text+1253.07}1253. 7=A0
would work, but it is rea= lly better to have the index entry as =931253.7=94 rather than as =931253.0= 7=94 or =931253. 7=94

I have experimented with different sort keys=97e.g., Au= thorText125307=97and can generate an index with the 1235.7 and so on in the= proper place and form, say, before 1253.12.

But t= hen the problem is that I also get entire sequences of entries out of order= (485.19, 485.21 before 477.31, and so on). Very puzzling. (Restoring the s= ort key AuthorText removes the latter problems but then leaves 1253.7 in th= e wrong place.)

If anyone has experience with this or just some ideas f= or a solution, their suggestions will be most welcome.

I am using the MKII in the latest ConTeXt standalone.
