For what purpose do you seek a new sort order? If for an index then
Xindy has some superior tools for accomplishing this. But how to use
Xindy in a Context run? I used the sort macro package from the TeXsis
macros. The particular file is called index.tex. There are some name
conflicts between this package and Context so I modified some names in
the macro package, e.g., index becomes indexx. Then one can embed the
commands in your pdfetex or Context file, run Context, run a couple of
programs from the Xindy suite (one to convert from makeindex format
and then Xindy itself) and rerun Context to produce the index in the
proper place.
If Context can be made to do this with equal or greater facility then
there is no problem. But if not, Xindy was designed specifically to
handle indexes with various alphabets; indeed the tutorial deals with
accented words and the Hungarian "Ny" which is sorted as a separate
letter. All the situations you describe above are easily handled.
