Alphabetical sort

Alphabetical sort

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi!

Please, advise me what I can do to alphabetically sort an itemized list? 
(I have list of songs, and want them to be alphabetically sorted, as an 
option ).

\startitemize[n]          %something like 'sort' key would be very useful
\item Fly me to the moon
\item Hit the road jack
\item Sway
...

Regards,
Vyatcheslav

Hello,

nice example - I put it to the wiki - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/definesorting.

But the result doesn't appear with error message "internal error: pdfcrop failed", although the compilation on a computer is OK.

Any idea what causes wiki compilation failure?

Best regards,

Lukas

There is a easy way to find out if it works:

1. Create a new file,
2. add the code you want to test and
3. run ConTeXt.

Fantastic snippet, thank you Wolfgang!

My original code is a bit more complicated, it often (but not always) 
involves artist, tempo and tonality data, like this

\define[1]\artist{{\itx #1}}
\define[1]\bpm{{\tfx #1 bpm}}}

...

\item Sway
	\artist{Pussycat Dolls}
	\bpm{136-138}	
\item Fly me to the moon \key{Em}
	\artist{Julie London}
\item Hit the road jack \key{Am}
	\artist{Ray Charles}
	\bpm{94}
...

How can I incorporate this optional data into song? My guess \song{Hit 
the road jack \bpm{94}} does not work.
