Re: [NTG-context] How to manually adjust the sort order of items appearing in a custom index?

I created a custom index that displays a list of "Important Dates"
appearing in my book. It lists the year, a short description of what
happened, and should show the page number.
I'm running into two errors though:
First, if the date is the same year, it is sorting alphabetically,
example
\dateis{1900s+1912}{Yet another event happened}
\dateis{1900s+1912}{Another event happened}
...will print the wrong one first in the index..
1912 - Another even happened
1912 - Yet another event happened.
Is there a way to manually tell it to display one first? I don't want to
add visible month and day details, that would be even more confusing to
the index as I have to print it in American order.
Second, when it compiles it is not printing the page number, instead
prints "[Entry not flushed]".

Here is my minimum working example:
\defineregister[listdates][compress=yes]
\setupregister[listdates][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=1,
pagenumber=yes]
\define[2]\dateis{%
\listdates{#1~\emdash ~#2}%
}%
\starttext
\dateis{1900s+1911}{Some event happened}
\dateis{1900s+1912}{Yet another event happened}
\dateis{1900s+1912}{Another event happened}
\startchapter[title=Important Dates]
\placelistdates
\stopchapter
\stoptext
Change your definition of \dateis (or use an additional macro) to use
the sort key of \index:
\index[1900s+191201]{January}
\index[1900s+191202]{February}
