Obviously you don't understand the nature of this bug and its destructive
potential, since you lecture us about how to make backups. This is the kind of
bug that can destroy any recursive backup, because possibly you realize that
Calc destroyed the rows integrity only after having backed up the whole mess.

Sure. That's why you can *usually* select a set of columns before applying the
sorting in Calc. That's exactly why this is a serious bug: Calc *in this case*
does not honour the user's selection choice and arbitrarily decides to sort
what it likes. If this behaviour doesn't change, there *must* be a warning
here.

Nope. It's quite the opposite.
