Sounds like hidden magic. Automatic has the same entries as Text Styles,
listing headings down to nine levels (such a deep structure in documents is a
torture for readers). Two entries, at least, are about letters and may not be
relevant in 80% of the use cases.

I think the better approach is to organize styles in a tree like

+ Custom
+ Headings
+ Text
- Document
  Header
  Footer
  Endnote
  ... 
+ Captions
+ Lists
+ Tables
+ Emphasize

similar to what we have with Hierarchical but sorted for improved overview.
Alternative to a tree it's possible to sort with an accordion. I would add a
checkbox "[ ] Applied styles only" (my personal first choice in this dropdown),
and perhaps another "[x] Simple" that hides the less often used styles (e.g.
Header left/right, Illustration index header...).
