I started using the newest version of texlive and now, the behavior for my synonym lists has changed. With the command \synonym[.1.]{.2.}{.3.}, I thought that the sorting used to be based on [.1.] but now it seems that the sorting is based on {.2.}. This is undesireable, because I cannot seperate my alphabetic synonyms from my greek synonyms. Here is a sample of what is happening. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature][criterium=all,width=0.85in] \placelistofnomenclatures \nomenclature[a]{ztest}{This should be first} \nomenclature[b]{ytest}{This should be second} \nomenclature[c]{xtest}{This should be third} \stoptext Mike
