--- Comment #3 from andréb <andr55 at laposte.net> ---
Further tests show that libo apparently expands multiline heading fields to one
(possibly very long) line, which did not occur with libo 4.4.7.2.
A resulting very long heading field can be long enough to occupy the maximum
width in the sort selection window, meaning that the ascending/descending
buttons are no longer displayed.
The solution is to reserve a space to the right for the ascending/descending
buttons.
A multiline heading probably contains supplementary info ABOVE the main heading
text, meaning that if such a heading becomes too long, it is better to omit
text above, or to the left of a combined line.

eg.
----
very long

could become

----
...explanation for a description
----

(Note that when libo combines lines it puts a space in place of CR)
