The current behaviour of oocalc is the same as in MS Excel (at least up to 
version 2003). Calc (and Excel too) is no database and therefore doesn't keep 
rows together in any circumstances.
If you want to sort a single column, click the column (e.g. "A") and then the 
sort button.
If you want to sort all columns, you can either select a single cell and click 
the sort button, or - if you want to sort by more than 1 column - you can 
select Data->Sort from the menu.

Abubakar, you said that  Excel asks how to sort. What version of Excel
do you use? Is it 2007? I used from 97 up to 2003 and I cannot remember
any question about what to sort.

I personally would perfer the current behaviour. Maybe it's not very
intuitive, but it is what Excel and OOCalc users are used to.
