            Bug ID: 94775
           Summary: multi-pages and multi-columns table: allow alternative
                    text-flow
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I want to format a large list of items and I want them to be displayed as 3
columns.

I create a 3 columns table in Writer and paste the list in the first one.
The first column filled and extends to several pages. It's logical.
But I would like the text to flow in this order:
>From top to bottom, from column 1 to column 3, from page 1 to page N
Visually:

page1:
| col A | col B | col C |
-------------------------
|  1    |  4    |  7    |
|  2    |  5    |  8    |
|  3    |  6    |  9    |

page2:
| col A | col B | col C |
-------------------------
|  10   |  13   |  16   |
|  11   |  14   |  17   |
|  12   |  15   |  18   |

To obtain this result, one currently need to create as much table than pages
and  paste portion of the text <number of columns>*<number of pages needed>
times.

In case it's difficult to implement above specified text-flow, feel free to
provide workarounds.
