            Bug ID: 134781
           Summary: Redundancy in Table of Contents and Indexes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

It is possible to create a table/index of table, drawing, figures, … captions
with Insert>TOC & Index>Toc, Index or Bibliography. When you are in the Type
tab, you can choose a "Type:" from the drop-down menu.

"Table of Figures" will let you choose any defined "number range" (meaning you
can add user-categories if not satisfied with the default factory list).

This creates a table similar to a TOC where entries are listed in document
order. Entries can be fully customised, including adding back-hyperlinks with
LS and LE markers.

But "Index of Tables" does seemingly the same think. Apart from the default
heading, the result is strictly identical: the entries are in document order
while the label would suggest that entries are listed in alphabetical order of
their caption like in the case of "Alphabetical Index". The only difference is
LS and LE markers cannot be used.

Either this is redundant and the "Index …" variant should be removed or this is
a bug, the alphabetic order in the Index variant not being implemented.
