            Bug ID: 117344
           Summary: Enhancement request in calc: Option of changing
                    predicted text from alphabetical to most used
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc

Description:
When creating a spreadsheet, if I have a column where there are frequently
repeated values, it would be handy to have the suggestion based on the most
used rather than alphabetical (as you don't get multiple options anyway).

For example, I do finances on a spreadsheet, and one of the columns is the
location the receipt is from. Say I go to Burger King all the time, its handy
when I put "B" or "Bu" to just tab to the next field and "Burger King" would
come up. Now say I go to a place while on holidays (as a once off) named Burger
Bites. Once this is entered, it will always be the default until I type "Burger
K" as it is alphabetically first (seems to be how it works from experimenting).

I think the way it calculates suggested text is most used (as you are most
likely to want that) or at least a setting you can change to make it this way.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type "Burger King" into A1, A2 and A3
2. Type "Bu" into A4, "Burger King" should be suggested, so press enter
3. Type "Burger Bites" into A5
4. Type "Bu" into A6, now in this field and any other fields this will be
suggested as "Burger Bites", would be more useful to be "Burger King"

Actual Results:  
"Burger Bites" will be suggested for this column.

Expected Results:
Would like it to say "Burger King" as suggested (while there are more instances
of "burger King" in that column).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
