As with many such features, indeed we use lua but most of the concepts
originate in by now decades old mkii. These replacement tricks that can
drive sorting actually come from there. But
You will be happy to know that this works perfectly, and naturally I
extended the pattern to cover another 30 books or so. I don't
necessarily understand the Lua code, but I did take the trouble to look
through sort-ini.lua to get some kind of idea of what was happening and
basically to
Okay, that's all clear enough. Thank you. I'll keep working at it.

I did, actually. But maybe I can play with that a bit further. My first
attempt at doing that was unsuccessful (when I got to 'z' I thought I
might be able to then go 'za' etc). I'll keep playing, but Hans' luacode
approach might ultimately be the solution for me. He's given me the
principles;
You are correct on both counts; it is not quite random (just not what I
was looking for ) and yes, the abbreviated book title needs to be in
the mix as well, just in case it also ends up throwing things out. But,
as you can see subsequently, each contribution is making things clearer

You use a couple of chartacters that will be filtered (crlf and so). Try
weird ones, like:
It seems that the items are actually not randomly listed.
It appears to me that the list is sorted on the chapter number, and then the
verse number. The abbreviated book title is not involved in this sorting order,
which it should be.

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.
