I have a customer that uses a publisher that has

that the locaters are not page numbers but
paragraph numbers. And some paragraph numbers
start with the prefix 'BO' and others with the
chapter number. so a correct sequence would be
BO.15 3.2
A finished sequence would be
goddess @@ BO.15 3.2 3.5
The sort order has to be letter by letter,
as defined in the Chicago Manual of Style.
Can Context sort and summarize these locaters?
You can use the "BO.15 3.2 3.5" as subentry and it will probably be
sorted all right; you can then disable page numbers. This kind of
indexing happens in critical editions.
