            Bug ID: 141042
           Summary: Feature request: REVERSE(string)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tagishsimon at gmail.com

Request for a new calc function, REVERSE(string), which reverses the order of
characters in a string.

REVERSE("ABC") = CBA
A1=123
REVERSE(A1) = 321

Use case: provides a mechanism for sorting a list based on the end of strings
rather than the start of strings - I'm working through long lists of
geolocatable items and/or organisations & want to draw together location types
or organisation types that have the same characteristics. I've found in
practice that being able to sort by the reverse of a string nicely groups set
of things.
