--- Comment #7 from Jürgen Kirsten <[email protected]> --- Hello Regina, Thank you for your comment on this error message. I agree with you that using the default language is intentional behaviour. I now understand that the possible options are not displayed when sorting in this case. Nevertheless, I am not entirely satisfied with LibreOffice's behaviour in this regard. I believe there is room for improvement. The first possible improvement, in my opinion, is as follows: When the sort dialogue box is opened and no language has been selected in the locale settings in the sort options or saved with the file, nothing should be displayed at this point. If the language of the user interface is displayed there with the note "Default", a less experienced user may not know that they still need to change the language in order to select the options under "Sort options". A second possible improvement would be to only list languages in the drop-down menu for which there are also options in the sorting options. Currently, these are: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Macau), Chinese (Singapore), Chinese (Traditional), German (Germany), German (Liechtenstein), German (Luxembourg), German (Austria), German (Switzerland), Japanese, Korean (ROK), Luxembourgish and Niederdeutsch. Last but not least: the language of the user interface together with the note "Standard" should not be included in the list of sorting options. In combination with the default language, there is no possible selection in the sorting options. So it can also be removed. It only causes confusion. However, it should be possible to delete a selection once it has been made. Currently, this is only possible if you select a language that does not allow any options. What do you think of my comments? Should this error message be converted into a suggestion for improvement, or are my suggestions nonsensical from a developer's point of view? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
