Yeh, if you want all the columns sorted then it is best to open with Base 
instead of Calc.  It sounds as though your spreadsheet is now really a database 
and needs database functionality instead of spreadsheet functionality.  Don't 
panic!  It is quite easy to use!

Alternatively in Calc just select the full range of the data that all needs to 
get sorted and either get the white cell into the right column using the tab 
key 
or use an advanced sort to sort on multiple columns at the same time or to 
specify which column to sort on.

Tom :)

I know what you mean. But since some time, in this case Calc shows a
special Dialog asking the user, if he really means, what he is
doing. (which I don“t like, BTW) ;-)

However this Dialog and the options it provides do not handle the
case with empty rows...
