LoreTex is an extension to the Tex language for compiling pdf documents, providing an interface to define characters, places and more, and then generate a glossary containing those entities that are relevant to your story.
Currently, affiliated entities are sorted alphanumerically. This is probably useful for most cases, but not all. Take, for example, a dynasty that lists all its rulers. Here I'd like chronological sorting (Henry VIII before Elizabeth II).
One possible solution is to add a protected descriptor "sorting" to entities, which contains either an empty string or another protected descriptor, by which affiliated entities are sorted. One drwaback is that currently not all contents of protected descriptors are sortable. For example, sorting by the role of an affiliation member is not directly possible with this setup.
