            Bug ID: 153387
           Summary: UX: Sorting string not following Unicode / ASCII order
                    by default
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.6.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: frank...@goodhorse.idv.tw

Description:
In the default behavior of data sorting in Calc (Writer as well, see reference
questions), the sorting algorithm is not following Unicode/ASCII code, which I
think it's an intuitive and reasonable default behavior.  If it is not, what
kind of behavior does it follow?  I didn't find any document explaining the
default sorting algorithm or behavior.  Language/locale settings?  Opening with
en_US.UTF-8 locale got the same result.

You can visit the reference 2. I'll attach the file here later.

It may not be a bug, but a user experience issue.

Reference: 
1. https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc/86667
2.
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc-data-sorting-not-following-ascii-unicode-order/87503
3. https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/writer-not-sort-following-ascii-code/84334

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. Data -> Sort Column B as ascending
3. The result does follow ASCII/Unicode code

Actual Results:
The result does follow ASCII/Unicode code

Expected Results:
- Following ASCII/Unicode is a reasonable default behavior IMO
- If not, any document describing the default sorting algorithm?
- If not, any option to force following ASCII/Unicode order?  (Filling every
character in Tool - Options - Calc - Sort List is NOT a user-friendly solution
IMO)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Earliest version I tested: 版本 3.6.7.2 (組建 ID:e183d5b)

Should be inherited from OO.o I think.
