--- Comment #5 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

I agree this could be better documented. We've got:

- https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/01/12030100.html
- https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/01/12030200.html

There's mention that "Number fields are sorted by size and text fields by the
order of the characters", but it doesn't clarify what comes first, and also
that the alphabetical part starts with numbers.

Hendrik, the example you provide gives me a result that makes sense:

215468
499432
6545146
306518/8
v123245

- First, numbers from lowest to highest (three first rows)
- Then, text strings, alphabetically, with numbers first (two last rows)

What might be more surprising to users is the inclusion of dates and times in
the column. The logic should also be explained in the documentation.

Should we change this into a documentation improvement?
