Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.12.55-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have experiencing this problem in a while, solving it with
workarounds (using other software to this part of the taks), but I
think it is important enough to leave it as it is.

After sorting out a column with text (names more precisely),I see the
undesirable order:

Gabriela Somehing
Gabriel Otherthing

The natural lexicographical ordering should put "Gabriel " before "Gabriela".

I can provide any other details upon request. The files where this
happens have sensitive data (names, e-mails, grades etc.) , so I can't
share it here. For instance, libreoffice puts them in the correct
order (this is what I used to sort the data: prepared everything in
gnumeric, sorted what I needed in libreoffice and then finalized the
work in gnumeric again, all using ods file format, but the problem
persists in gnumeric native file format too).

Thanks in advance.

Best, Alexandre
