\def\Genesis#1{\index[001 #1]{Genesis #1}} etc.
Takes only 66 macros and it even saves you typing :)

Who does the index sorting, is that texexec?

Using
\index[Samuel 1 1:1]{1 Samuel 1:1}
Should change the sort order. Untested, though.
He probably wants to get Genesis before Exodus (etc.) instead. So would
it be possible to tell the index mechanism to sort certain items in an
arbitrary order? (I don't know what \sort and \loadsorts do?)

You could pre-assign a zero-padded number to each book (Genesis=001,
Exodus=002), and use that number inside the square brackets.

[NTG-context] Sort register (index) by Bible book
Hi All,
I'm typesetting a book that has a register of Bible verses. I like to
order them by Bible book as per the order the books are customarily
listed.
The index is created like \index{1 Samuel 1:1} and retrieved with
\placeindex, so that's all standard.
Are there any tools to sort this index? How can I make this part of
the regular build? Or is this something you do once, at the end, by
hand?
--
Thanks for any pointers,
Berend de Boer
