Yeah, I heard of this...

... and I don't find the respective commit to judge how big it is..

To me it looks like it was in more commits to revert the "sort mess" as upstream calls it.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=libreoffice-4-3-5&qt=grep&q=sort looks scary

Marking such; and "closing" - it will stay open for 4.3.3 due to the info.

I fear it's too late now for jessie, though. I don't believe I can't
convince the RT to get this treated as a release-critical
(aka critical/grave/serious) bug...
