Incorrect sorting in \completelistofabbreviations for numbers

Incorrect sorting in \completelistofabbreviations for numbers

[Markus Brandt]

Hi everyone,

I think I've found a sorting bug in \completelistofabbreviations in the 
latest LMTX (and probably also MKIV). When using this minimal example

\abbreviation[OTT]{123}{One, Two, and Three}
\abbreviation{ABC}{A, B, and C}
\abbreviation{ZYX}{Z, Y, and X}

\starttext
\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all]
\stoptext

I get

ABC    A, B, and C
123    One, Two, and Three
ZYX    Z, Y, and X

Numbers should go before letters. Do you know any workaround/fix for 
that?

Best,
Markus

aren't they sorted by the tag ?
By default the synonim is the tag; only the first one has an explicit tag
(OTT)
so the order  is ABC, OTT,  ZXY, which looks ok.

yes, seems like they are sorted by tag. But that’s not useful, since you cannot use numbers in a tag. This tag is just the workaround for abbreviations that include numbers.

That works kind of. Now the numbers are at the button.

\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all,method=first]

I'll add a sortkey as option assuming that you will wikify it:

\abbreviation[OTT]{123}{One, Two, and Three}

\abbreviation[TTO][321]{321}{Three, Two, One}

\abbreviation{ABC}{A, B, and C}
\abbreviation{ZYX}{Z, Y, and X}

\definesynonym[yes][abbreviation][ZZZ]{PQR}{P, Q or R}

\starttext

\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all,method=first]

\stoptext

321 Three, Two, One
ABC A, B, and C
123 One, Two, and Three
ZYX Z, Y, and X
PQR P, Q or R

Hi,

Thanks. 'method' is missing in the Wiki. It works fine when using it in 
combination with \csname to use the abbreviation.

I guess the change you propose would affect \synonym in generell, right? 
This change would make code with the sortkey option incompatible with 
older versions. Wouldn't adding a sortkey to 
completelistofsynonyms/setupsynonyms be a better option? Something like 
sortkey = name|text|content. Just asking out of curiosity.

Best,
Markus

it's per defined synonym (optional extra argument) ... such additions 
never result in incompatibilities

it's as with indices where we have sortkeys
