--- Comment #7 from stragu <stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org> ---
Still not available in current daily master build:

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: de7356c2e0cb099fac396808b5a86a0393b48e5f
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Calc: threaded

I like this idea, but would suggest that names should change to clarify what
they do. I think the name "Top 10" can be interpreted in many different ways,
hence the confusion here when using it on non-numeric data. I propose:

- "Top 10" becomes "Highest 10": the 10 highest numerical values (and therefore
the 10 most recent datetime values too)
- new item: "10 most frequent": regardless of data type, the 10 most frequent
values in the column (the enhancement request described here)
- new item: "First 10": regardless of data type, the 10 first values when the
column is sorted in alphabetical (unicode) order
