I was trying to sort columns in ascending/descending order by the row of totals at the bottom of the columns. I'm not sure what order LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 is sorting but it's certainly not numerical.
OpenOffice.org works fine for this. I currently have 3.3.0 installed because of an unrelated bug in 3.4.1. This issue apparently goes back at least as far as LibreOffice 3.6.0.2. - see http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/5898/libreoffice-calc- sorts-numerical-data-as-text/ LibreOffice sorts vertically just fine. I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082449 Title: [Upstream] Calc mis-sorts left to right (sort columns) Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc libreoffice-calc: Installed: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 0 900 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in Calc via a terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1082449/+attachment/3442313/+files/test.xls && localc --nologo test.xls highlight columns B through G -> Data -> Sort... -> Options tab under Direction click radio button Let to right (sort columns) -> uncheck checkbox Range contains row labels -> tab Sort Criteria -> drop down Sort key 1 click Row 1 -> radio buton Ascending -> button OK and the order is sorted as noted in the file Expected. 4) What happens instead is it sorts as noted in the file Result. + Same problem reproducible in: Microsoft Windows Vista Business x86 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002 Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5) but issue has WORKAROUND if you run sort twice consecutively.
