            Bug ID: 146018
           Summary: Group similar autofilter submenu items to save the
                    vertical space
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc

autofilter screen on 1920*1080 display

Currently we have:

Sort Ascending
Sort Descending
Top 10
Empty
Not Empty
Text Color
Background Color
Standard Filter...
Reset Autofilter (appears when a filter is set)
<an input field>
<ALL checkbox>
<actual filter items>

This makes the autofilter popup vertically very long. Importantly, those items
above the input box are actually less useful than the input field and the
actual filter items below it.

I suggest we treak the UI to make it appear as the following (i.e. group the
similar items, and the items within the group should show up upon mouse
hover-over):
Sort
    Asending
    Desending
Value Is
    Top 10
    Empty
    Not Empty
    <more may be added here>
Color:
    Text Color
    Background Color
Reset AutoFilter (appears when a filter is set)
<an input field>
<ALL checkbox>
<actual filter items>

This way the use can focus on important items and the un-important items are
shown only when hover-over. Also this will avoid the "dialog-too-tall" isses on
low resolution displays, such as tdf#145901, tdf#130449 etc.
