I don't mean to snub OpenOffice.org's spreadsheet; it generally works fine for 
me. But I have a project that requires two features Excel has:

1) Efficient multi-column sorting (i.e. You highlight row Z, and it opens a 
window allowing you to sort first by column Z, second by column A and third by 
AX)

2) The ability give cells background colors AND patterns (e.g. horizontal or 
vertical lines)

I'm in the process of moving to a Mac and discovered some new spreadsheets that 
actually have more background colors than Excel, but none of them have 
background patterns. One had multi-column sorting, but it was very clumsy and 
inefficient.

I just wondered if anyone knows of a spreadsheet - either free or commercial - 
that has what I'm looking for. If not, I'm going to have to purchase Excel for 
Mac.

Thanks!
