Well, that was only just an immediate conclusion.

Speaking precisely, rows of one (or more) specified column(s) should not be
sorted. Most commonly it will be the 1st column as usually there are ordering
numbers – e.g. list of cities in Poland*
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miasta_w_Polsce_(statystyki) – while sorting by
inhabitants, area, voivodeship, (…) the cells in 1st column with ordering
numbers also get sorted while they shouldn't. The 1st column with ordering
numbers informs quickly e.g. "Gdańsk is 6th in a row in terms of number of
inhabitants" or "there are 125 cities with area <5 km²".

Ordering numbers just should be in order all the time regardless of sorting
rows – otherwise they just become nonsense.

*) It's big article, may load long. In this article I tried to make separate
table with ordering numbers that would not be sorted but that looks like…
nothing good. The feature is craved.
