1. index sorts uppercase letters after lowercase letters. Minimal example:

I would expect azygous to follow Aardvark, but it is sorted before.
are you sure that that's the convention for english? it's easy to change it ...

we had this pretty old thread about sorting in indexes. AFAICS, the latest beta
defaults to cases-sensitive sorting. Two quick questions:
1. Is there a setup command that will make index sorting case-insensitive? The
code above doesn't work anymore, so maybe you made it user-configurable now?
indeed, and in a nice obscure way ...
\setuplayout[topspace=1cm,height=middle]
\setupbodyfont[11pt]
\starttext
\def\Test#1%
{\vbox{{\bf#1}\blank\placeregister[index][language=cz,n=1,method={#1}]}\blank}
wanted result: oá öb Oč Öď Oo Öo oo öo Öq öř Oš oů \blank
\startcolumns[n=3]
\Test{mc,mm,uc} \Test{mc,zm,uc} \Test{mc,pm,uc}
\Test{zc,mm,uc} \Test{zc,zm,uc} \Test{zc,pm,uc}
\Test{pc,mm,uc} \Test{pc,zm,uc} \Test{pc,pm,uc}
\stopcolumns
\page

2. Is it really a good idea to make case-sensitive sorting the default in
English? I can't remember seeing a single academic book in English that has
this sort of index sorting.
Currently Jano and I are figuring out some details (as Jano does the
testing with more complex multilingual indices).
I have no preferece ... we can configure each language independently
using the method key in the entries in sort-lan.lua As I seldom consult
an index I have no clue what to expect or default to so feel free to
tell me what the defaults should be. We now have predefined:
local predefinedmethods = {
[variables.before] = "mm,mc,uc",
[variables.after] = "pm,mc,uc",
[variables.first] = "pc,mm,uc",
[variables.last] = "mc,mm,uc",
}
