At first I thought: that is really weird. But then I realised that
this is also how edited story collections are sorted in dutch
libraries, so perhaps it is not that weird.

Doing the 'Das' thing properly would be a nightmare, But that is
why Bibtex has this \noopsort trick.

rt=title sorts every book by title. I guess the only way to achieve

Adding a specialized sort routine to the context bst file would
not be that hard. If you run a diff between cont-au.bst en cont-ti.bst,
you'll see that they are almost the same. What I need is an exact
description of which bibtex types are affected, and what you think
the name of the sort routine should be for use in \setupbibtex[sort=]

Cheers,
