Thank you very much, it is a perfect solution.

I don't have the answer to your explicit question, but a work-around might be 
to put the footnotes into buffers instead of \footnotetext and then use 
/footnote[...]{\getbuffer[name]} in the body. That way ConTeXt sees them in 
order of appearance in the body and so the numbering should be as you want.

Good Morning to all list members.

I am writing a document with very long footnotes, and in order not to break (in 
the source file) the flow of the main text, instead of using the \footnote 
macro, I introduce the footnotes using \note[label] at the point where the call 
to the footnote should be placed, and in a separate place in the source file I 
write the text associated to the footnote using \footnotetext[label].

This works quite well and allows to create a more readable source file. There 
is, nevertheless, a small inconvenience, and it is that when processing the 
document ConTeXt goes numbering automatically the notes, attending to the order 
in which they are, in the source file, the \footnotetext commands. Would there 
be a simple way so that the automatic numbering follows the order of the \note 
commands, and not that of \footnotetext? Maybe something with \startbuffer 
combined with a counter?
