<pre>The direct approach to sort all data in this example is to select the range
A1:C5 before invoking Data -> Sort.
AFAIK no spreadsheet application sorts empty cells to the top, so that
expectation doesn't hold.
However, when the entire columns (or the range B1:B5 for that matter) was
selected then extending the selection could use the data range covered and
extend from there to also include the neighbours and contiguous data.
Btw, the behaviour was the same already in OOo.
I also tried in Gnumeric 1.12.41 and that doesn't even ask to extend the
selection but sorts only the selected column B.</pre>
