[libreoffice-users] Happy Document Freedom Day!
I know that this comes too late for those of you who are in other time zones. But in our time-zone (Americas etc.), it is morning. So, a wonderful and Happy Document Freedom Day! to all in all time-zones. Pass this along so that we can raise awareness about the need for Open Document Format openness (ODF). Let your employers know of today's date. LibreOffice's default file system is that of the ODF.

Close to reality is a bit too strong. Maybe closer to reality According to Michael (Meeks) this is the beginning, and not even the end of the beginning so there is still a long way to go. This will be a real step forward for Open Document implementation. If Universities, Government institutes, Non-Governamental Organizations (NGOs) and even Small and Medium Entreprises (SMEs) install LibreOffice On-Line on their servers and use it as a day-to-day Office suite, then ODF has a chance to become a real standard.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Sort Bug ?
If Sort By shows the data in the first cell then it is being treated as a column header. Go to the Options tab and correct the item regarding the sort range including the header.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Sort Bug ?
Hi, while LO does allow a certain amount of customisation, at this point in the game this particular menu option can not be changed. This then becomes a feature request, either * change the default * allow the sort options to be customised Once a feature request is submitted it is really up to a (unpaid) programmer to step forward and take on the action. I can't see this being high on the programmer's list of priorities but it may be deemed an easy hack which an aspiring young person could field.

[libreoffice-users] FEATURE REQUEST -- for the Sort options in Calc
For logical and safety reasons, and for compatibility with Microsoft Excel, I suggest that: * The Sort Option Range contains column labels be_unticked by default_. * Allow the sort options to be customized (optional). It is good that LibreOffice has this option, but a beginner don't know that option and will sort what he/she has selected, and it is frustrating to see that the first column is not sorted at all, thinking it's a bug (like I did). Thank you!
