Hi Hans,
your're a genious, thats so great! Thank you very very much!
While testing and adapting the code, there are two questions still:

I changed
           pages[number] = range
to
           local order =  v.references.order
            pages[order] = range

and accordingly

function document.dosomething()
  local n = structures.notes.getn("footnote",n)

which seems to work, but it would be nice if you could confirm my suggestion that these two values are equal.

The other question:
As far as I can understand, structures.lists.collected seems to be filled before any typesetting is done yet??? Could you give me some enlightment about that or is it simply the ConTeXt magic?

Thank you once again,
Greetings
Achim
