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.
\abbreviation[0123]{123}{One, Two, and Three}
\abbreviation{ABC}{A, B, and C}
\abbreviation{ZYX}{Z, Y, and X}
\starttext
\csname 0123\endcsname
\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all]
\stoptext

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
