Nope. Please, go to step 4, then try selecting whichever area you want (column,
group of cells, or select all) then apply step 5 and 6, look what happens. You
have no control whatsoever on the area to be sorted: sorting always applies to
all columns with the autofilter label, and never to the other columns, no
matter which area you selected before sorting. So, if you wanted to create
*your* mess, you couldn't. It's the program that *always* create the mess of
its own choice.

Nope. I've set a sorting order, not a filter. The behaviour of the function
here should be coherent with the Data | Sort ascending and Data | Sort
descending functions behaviour.

>   Mind that the row AB next to it, is not included and will be left out of
>   the action.

Nope. I've set a sorting order for column A, either all columns should be
affected, or just column A. Warnings and selection extensions should be exactly
the same as for Data | Sort ascending and Data | Sort descending.

>   Do you want to continue or do you want to extend the filter to include
>   column AB?
>    [continue] [adapt filter]   [] do not show this warning again"

Nope. I just don't want to have *two* different sorting function, with two
different and incoherent behaviours, one of them always breaking records by
design, and without warning. 

I don't like MS Excel, and I don't use it, bit this is very very bad design in
LibreOffice.
