I prefer functional category over positional. TOC, LOF, LOT (the latter two often in the backmatter BTW, sometimes even the former), indexes, nomenclature, references and glossaries all are lists with entries that refer to specific parts of the document. This is their common function. The position differs historically and culturally (probably also between genres). Jürgen
