When sorting data in AOO Calc, must the "key" text data be located

No, definitely not.
It may be that you are using the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending
buttons in the Standard toolbar. When you have selected a cell range,
one of those cells is left individually highlighted. If you then use
one of the Sort buttons, the cell range is sorted on the column
containing that individual cell. By taking care over the way you drag
the mouse to select the range or how you use click and Shift+click,
you may be able to sort on different columns.
Alternatively, after you have selected the cell range, go to Data |
Sort... instead. This opens the Sort dialogue, which gives a wide
range of options, including the sort criterion: under "Sort by" you
can select the column (or columns) to be used.
I trust this helps.
