Bug ID: 90393 Summary: Text cell as first cell in range should not automatically be considered as label Product: LibreOffice Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Master Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: Calc Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: rb.hensc...@t-online.de This issue is about the one-click sort options in the toolbar, which are commands .uno:SortAscending and .uno:SortDescending. If you select a vertical range of cells and use these commands, you can observe the following behavior: (1) If the first cell is numeric, LibreOffice sorts the whole range. (2) If the first cell is a text cell, LibreOffice assumes first cell is a label and sort starts with the second cell of the range. In case of (2) there is no way to tell LibreOffice to _not_ use the first cell as label. [I know you can sort it as desired by using the long way over Data > Sort etc., which is command .uno:DataSort, but this issue is about the above mentioned special sort icons.] The missing ability to allow the user to decide whether the first cell is a label or not creates confusion, read e.g thread http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-Sort-Bug-td4144500.html In addition, Excel does not assume a label, if all cells are text cells. Therefore the behavior in LibreOffice is unexpected for persons switching from Excel. Softmaker works as Excel, Gnumeric has no one-click sort, but only a dialog. You can think of a global setting, a per document setting, a popup asking, different commands for assuming label or not, or other ideas. There is no obvious solution and therefore I think, it should be discussed in UX. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
