Sorry, but I still don't see your point here. 

1. You refer to “practice over centuries.” Can you point me to a traditional 
index that contains an entry such as ἐκτὸς (from your example file)?

2. Sorting in ConTeXt may be used for more purposes than for printed books. I 
use it to analyze the content of my TEI xml files.

3. You refer to a new edition of LSJ in 2017. If it sorted words the way you 
suggest, with every possible morphological form as its own entry, you would 
think that was “flawed” too.

So I’m sorry, I still don’t get your point: this is about your personal 
preference, and I still don’t see why you are pushing so hard to have this 
preference as a default. This really is a corner case that is of interest to so 
few users that I wouldn’t consider it a good use of a developer’s time. It’s 
easy to achieve what you want (have you looked into the luatex solution I 
provided?), what is insufficient about this? Who is going to profit from this 
long discussion?
