--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- I was referring to the order of the headers both in the document itself and in the Navigator. In Microsoft Word, it is possible to put those headers, both in the Navigator and the document itself, in alphabetical (or alphanumerical) order. Is it truly a niche case? I often create note files that have a large number of headers. First, it would be nice to be able to just add new sections with headers either at the top or the bottom of the document and not have to alphabetize manually, but rather do it later with a single command. But even if I alphabetize manually, suppose I later want to merge two lengthy documents with many headers by pasting one into the file of the other. Then I'd like to have all the headers in alphabetical order again. In Microsoft Word, I've been able to do this with a single command. With Writer, it appears to be necessary to do it manually. This is the only feature from Word that I miss, having switched to LibreOffice Writer. Or, suppose I had already alphabetized the headers manually, but then I decide to rename some headers, and I'd like to alphabetize again. To be very concrete, suppose I have one document with headers/sections: Antibodies B cells NK Cells Post-viral conditions T cells and another document with headers/sections: Antibody-dependent enhancement Dendritic cells Interferons Macrophages NK cells Now I merge them by pasting one at the end of the other and have headers/sections: Antibodies B cells NK Cells Post-viral conditions T cells Antibody-dependent enhancement Dendritic cells Interferons Macrophages NK cells Maybe with only 10 headers it seems not burdensome to alphabetize manually, but what if each document has 25 headers/sections? As to why the alphabetical order is relevant, it just gives me an easier way to navigate around the document that's less cumbersome than using search. But it also helps me merge sections with identical headers. In the above example, after the merge I have two headers/sections on "NK cells." I'd like them to appear next to each other to make it easier to merge them into a single header and section of the same name. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
