Hello,

I have the following 'problem' with openoffice.  I have a large collection of
data that I import from a CSV file.  The format is something like this, as an
example:

name,age,height,weight,salary,etc...

I would like to make a series of charts about the people, and I would like them
to  all be sorted.  So there would be one chart with all the people and their
ages, sorted by age.  Then another chart with the names and heights, sorted by
height, and so on.

Currently, this seems to be impossible, because the moment you sort the cells on
one column, all the charts change and so you can never have all the carts nicely
sorted.

I suppose it would be possible to have multiple data collections, like so:

name,age
name,age
namge,age

name,weight
name,weight
name,weight

But that gets complicated, messy, and worst of all is difficult to import from a
CSV file.  Perhaps the best way around this would be some way to unlink chart
sorting from actual cell sorting.  Does that make sense?

Thankyou for your time,
David N. Welton
