I think there's a confusion here, Heiko. 

Why are you putting "name field" in quotes, for example? Nobody mentioned a
"name field" before you. 

Why are you assuming the range name would have to appear in the "column
dropdown" as opposed to a "selection field in the sort dialog" like b.
proposed?

Why are you comparing an unnamed column header in the dialog with a highlighted
range as if those were two mutually exclusive options? The problem is that BOTH
of these things are happening. The range is highlighted and the column header
is not shown (because it's outside the range, obviously). 

The problem, as b. says, is that the fact that a range has been automatically
selected is hidden from the user. Your proposal is functionally identical to
b.'s but somehow you seem to have misunderstood what's been said. 

btw the region I was referring to seems to be named "name box" in OpenOffice
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started/Parts_of_main_Calc_window
and "Sheet area box" in LibreOffice.
https://help.libreoffice.org/index.php?title=4.2/Calc/Define_Names&Language=en-US&System=WIN&Version=4.2#bm_id4757802 

I guess the nomenclature is not helping.
