The Sort dialog should be reworked. The tab Criteria has options
(headers/boundaries) that affects to the Option tab. These options should be
kept together for easier understanding. Bad.

empty = "no value and no formula" ? What else can describe "cell emptiness"?

I notice that using Ctrl+A in a data block does not select commented or imaged
"empty" headers.

So... drop the "default sentence (?).

Already fixed.

That is a catch I never could imagine as end user. The dialog has "Copy results
to:", that implies for the common mortals that the sorting is performed "under
the hood" and then copied to the target range.

let's keep this one.
