Hi,

IIUC, the bib module manual says that

     \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]

will print the publications in the order in which they appear in the bbl 
file. However, one needs

     \setupbibtex[sorttype=bbl]
     \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]

to get that behavior (took forever to debug). Minimal example:

\setupbibtex[sorttype=bbl]
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]

\unprotect
\show\@@pbsorttype
\protect

%\tracingall
\starttext
\unprotect
\show\@@pbsorttype
\protect
\stoptext

(Try commenting on the of the \setup.... lines)

Aditya

That sentence is technically correct. It would be wrong if
it said: "... in which they appear in the *bib* file".

Best wishes,
Taco

Yes, it took me a long time to figure that out.

I realized that the previous example was wrong. A better example is this:

\setuppublications[alternative=apa,sorttype=bbl]

does not work because bxml-apa.mkiv is loaded at \starttext and it resets 
the sorttype. Maybe we need a publicationalternative command

\definepublicationalternative[myalternative][apa]
%inherits all values from apa

\setuppublications[myalternative][sortype=bbl]
% change the value of sort type

\setuppublications[alternative=myalternative]
