--- Comment #9 from Colin <[email protected]> ---
Further to my comment #8

I am aware that sorting rows with formulae referring to rows either above or
below that row always ends up losing the reference point when the reference is
to an array eg

C12 = SUM(D2:D6) C13 = SUM(D3:D7) C14 = SUM(D4:D8)

will lose its compass if sorting on row C or D even when the parameter to
update references when sorting a range of cells is active. I always refer to
each cell in the sum individually and if I have an "array" of similar
calculations then I only need to refine one cluster and then it will
automatically replicate when "drag filled".

C12 = D2+D3+D4+D5+D6

in that manner LO always knows where D4 will end up no matter where it sorted
C12 or any of its precedents.

With this in mind I have ascertained that the corruption mentioned above was
the result of restarting in "safe" mode to try to identify why grouping and
ungrouping columns - F12 & [Ctrl]+F12 - was inoperative on sheets that had been
subjected to the vagaries of 7.6.5. Subsequent restarting in normal mode still
left the user profile somewhere in the pavement pizza of 11000 mishandled rows.

Why have I mentioned this? Because if somebody eventually fixes sorted defined
arrays they may wish to consider doing it properly so arrays within function
calls are automatically tracked. Or is that rocket science?
