Well, the process was not as automatic as you think.
The csv converters: integrated in Libreoffice Calc / Excel.
in LibreOffice: UTF-8 didn't work because of the Umlaute (ä, ö, ü). So I had to
change to "automatic", which was then put to "west european" (ISO-8859-1).
All my programs are on the same computer (Windows 11, language: Swiss-German
with the respective date-time templates).
All columns were "standard", the two date columns I changed to Date (TMJ,
nothing else to choose from like TT.MM.YYYY).
After converting the csv to a format which Calc could work with, I saw that the
two date columns were nontheless text entries, with a leading apostroph.
In order to be able to sort by date I would have had to change every entry and
delete teh leading apostroph. Which is no fun when you have large tables.

In contrast: Excel would recognise the date columns and would therefore be able
to sort them.

So it's not a rant, but a complaint.
