Re: [NTG-context] registers, how to ignore quote marks
No, I had already tried that. It places the subentry at the top of the
list of subentries, not in its correct alphabetical order. Using the
example below, I assume you meant (I am including text before and after):
The \index[Plenary+periti]{Plenary Council+{\it periti} (experts)} group
comprises 10 members.
There are nine subentries altogether, and quite a number under 'p', like
\index{Plenary Council+preparations for}. The italicised /periti /should
come just before the latter (preparations for) but, using the double key
above it comes first in the list. The same happens with the subentry
surrounded by single quotes. It too comes first in the list if I use a
double key. So clearly it is the fact that there is formatting ({\it
something}) or quotes ({‘word’}) in a subentry that causes the problem,
and I am wondering how to overcome this.

I guess my confusion is this: I assumed that the [key] establishes
the literal string which determines sort order. That seems to be the
case for a main entry. How do I get it to work for a subentry?

If you want to format the page number or the whole entry, you can use
processors. But if you want to format only parts of the entry, I don’t
see an other solution than to use formatting in the entry and set the
sort entry to the unformatted version like:
\index[myindexentry]{{\it my} index entry}
otherwise the name of the used commands/macros is used for the index

Re: [NTG-context] registers, how to ignore quote marks
Well done Adam - or should I say well read in the Wiki! For all my reading of it I still hadn't cottoned on to that. There are several of these cases, but I have been able to fix them all now. Thank you. Any thoughts (but I'm pretty sure this isn't fully explained in the wiki) how I can get part of the index entry in italics and part normal? That might be a bit more difficult I think.

Re: [NTG-context] registers, how to ignore quote marks
Hi Julian,
Have you tried \index[Innovative]{‘Innovative’}?
See wiki entry: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers
- To sort a word (such as "ConTeXt" under "C"), use: \index
[CONTEXT]{\ConTeXt}
You would have to change each index call though.
