--- Comment #8 from crtz <carrott...@hotmail.com> ---
I have been one of the lucky ones, who discovered this bug through Reddit,
before it could do any damage to my spreadsheets. Reading over the bug reports,
it clear that over the history of the LibreOffice project only a few people
have ever even asked for this new sorting behavior. By implementing this
questionable feature, in a matter of days you have almost 20 bug reports and
hundreds of people comments here and on Reddit.

No it is not logical port an untested feature to the stable branch. With
LibreOffice making front page of the IT magazines, is that really the best you
can come up with? There's no consensus because a single user wanted it? What’s
logical is NOT porting features that break backwards compatibility. What’s
logical is supporting those features IF you make that questionable decision to
back port them.

Frankly, the leader of LibreOffice should be embarrassed. The ESC ignored
multiple warnings and now you're pretending like it's a feature people need,
even though you're own efforts to find a valid use case, seemed turned up
nothing.  And you ignore the fact that this “feature” is incompatible with
previous versions and ALL other major spreadsheet programs out there.  

Being a huge open source fan boy, I have donated and tried to talk my IT
department into adopting LibreOffice. Seeing how this is handled it will
probably be my last and understand why we stuck with Microsoft.
