There was no mention of the indicator anywhere in what I copied from
your example. I did try indicator=no just now in case it should be made
explicit:
(\setupregister[bibcit][language=biblical,before=,indicator=no]
but that makes no difference either. Same result. Seemingly random index.

Hans, thanks for your ingenious solution but there is still a way to

I implemented (copy-paste) precisely the solution offered and I get
an index but with some strange results ! Notice that in my previous
own solution (but only as far as 26 books!) I at least got an index
in the order of the biblical books, but using the luacode you
offered, I get a seemingly random result (see below).
I extended your example by a few books. so:
\startluacode
sorters.definitions["biblical"] = {
method = interfaces.variables.before,
replacements = {
{ "Gen", string.char(1) },
{ "Ex", string.char(2) },
{ "Lev", string.char(3) },
{ "Deut", string.char(4) },
{ "Lam", string.char(5) },
{ "Dan", string.char(6) },
{ "Joel", string.char(7) },
{ "Ps", string.char(8) },
{ "Prov", string.char(9) },
{ "Sir", string.char(10) },
{ "Mt", string.char(11) },
{ "Mk", string.char(12) },
},
}
\stopluacode
But the result I get (just showing you a dozen or so, and you will
see that Gen doesn't even turn up in this list ... it does, but much
later!):
Mk 2:19-20 with parallels (PES) 146
Mt 3:8-10 (PES) 135
Prov 3:11-12 (PES) 139, 172
Sir 4:17-18 (PES) 139
Mt 5:5 (PES) 146
Mt 5:6 (MAC) 123
Mt 5:16 (MAC) 121
Mt 6:1-6, 16-18 (MAC) 121
Mt 6:1-6, 16-18 (PES) 145
Mt 7:13-14 (PES) 146
Sir 10:9 (PES) 142
Mt 11:12 (PRO) 160
Mt 12:34 (MAC) 124, 137
Mt 12:36 (PES) 134
Mk 12:41-44 (MAC) 122
Sir 17:27 (PES) 142
I have no idea why this is happening. I changed nothing of what you
gave me and removed anything I had previously. If you need an example
of how \bibcit is being used in the text, just in case it helps (but
I doubt it), here is one:
The widow’s mite pleased God because of her good intention, rather
than the heap of money that the pharisees, urged on by self-love,
threw into the treasury box (cf. \bibcit{Mk 12:41-44 (MAC)}Mk
12:41-44).
So, not sure where to go from here. Could I perhaps return to my
earlier question, which indicated that by using the keyword approach
[a] [b] and so on, as far as [z] I was at least getting a passable
result, but how could I continue past [z]? Could I have used [1], [2]
etc which would allows me to get as far as 66 (if I were to need
every biblical book)?
don't set the indicator
