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

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?

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. -- luigi

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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

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

Just asking out of curiosity. it's per defined synonym (optional extra argument) ... such additions never result in incompatibilities

it's as with indices where we have sortkeys ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
