When I try to make an X-Y scatterplot on the following data:

0.64    0.25
0.94    0.93
0.84    0.57
0.17    0.63
0.01    0.6
0.57    0.37
0.95    0.94
0.96    0.75
1       0.26
0.65    0.75
1       0.95
0.79    0.16
0.76    0.75
0.04    0.69
0.39    0.57
0.67    0.47
0.8     0.56
0.31    0.34
0.16    0.09
0.89    0.6
0.8     0.75

I get the message:

X axis values must be sorted.
Sort them now?

I have to hit "no" every time, although when I'm creating an X-Y scatterplot,
there is no need at all to sort data. This is very confusing -- when my mom was
using OOo, she stared at the box for a long time, and had to ask me why it
wanted to do that.

Moreover, even if I'm creating an X-Y plot connected by lines, I don't always
want to sort the data. 

The easiest solution, in my opinion, is to remove this box altogether.

It might be nice to give the user a chance to sort the data, but as it stands,
it's terrible UI design. It would be much better to have a checkbox in the Chart
Wizard (when people are requesting X-Y plots). The checkbox would say, for
example, "Sort by X coordinate".

This is related to (and should subsume) issue 7056.
