Oh, wow, that is _totally_ not what the label and the documentation say this
should do.

My assumption - reading the label and the documentation - was that this option
regarded the behavior of the "shrink sort range to data" functionality; but it
seems that is really not the case.

But this takes me ever deeper down the rabbit hole: When comments are also
accounted for in sorting - where are they to be placed? What is their order
relative to empty cells with no comments? Non-empty cells? And what about their
order relative to each other? Is the comment text to be taken into account
somehow? And if there is no clear ordering in the cases I mentioned above - are
the results even stable?  These may be moot poins when there are additional
columns with contents, but when sorted rows have other strong ordering due to
other columns, e.g. in a one-column case, they do need answers...
