I hope you really mean `indexes' and -- in a separate word --
`parameters'. Otherwise this would mean they should both be tried
immediatly and together...

Because its given in the calls to zstyle.

Always remember that now the context names simply and cleanly always
have the fixed format: `:completion:<function>:<completer>:<command>:<arg>:<tag>'.
Where <command> may also be one of the special contexts. So, what you
want is:

  zstyle ':completion:*:*:-subscript-:*' tag-order indexes parameters

P.S.: But just being able to define such things is fun, isn't it?
