Agreed ... maybe split it into :
1) alphabetical sorting problem (the first item of vertical alphabetical
sorting's forgotten)
2) defunct single-line column sorting (inexistant horizontal sorting)

Frankly, I don't know; I prefer to stick with stable debian, having been
plagued with too many dependency problems during major upgrades ...

Test is simple : stick some numbers/letters in the spreadsheet & see if
it repeats (z a c b) => (a b c z) if letter's sort is right; I got (z a
b c).

Column-sorting is maybe a feature gone wrong, given the behaviour of
sorting many lines by first-column item.
