multiple column calc sort makes LO quit

#1

Hello,

LO 5 looks fine and evrything seems to work fine too.

But...
I regularly do a sort on multiple colums (with headers) in Calc: C, G and F.
LO stumbles and quits systematically on this request.

Any ideas?

Guy,

AAMOI is this an ods file or xls? I just did a really quick test on some ods files (Fedora 22, LO 5.0.0.5) with no problems. I can dig up some old and quite big xls files tomorrow.

Cheers

Someone reported a similar problem with LibreOffice 4.4 a few months ago:
   http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg44387.html

It seemed to be something odd about the particular sheet. Experimenting a bit, it was possible to sort on a different column, undo, and then sort on the required column without a crash. Perhaps a similar workaround might work for you. Saving after doing that might even fix whatever funny in the document was triggering it (it may be handy to keep a copy of the problematic version around though, in case it's useful for investigating the issue; if there's nothing confidential it could be attached to a bug report.

I suggested filing a bug report, with the problematic document attached so it could be investigated, but don't know if that was ever done.

Mark.

Hello again,

I've been testing a bit on a few files, but even the simplest sort on the A
column, with or without column headers, of a small original ods file (15
columns, 50 rows) makes LO quit.

Is it the Mac version? I updated to LO 5.0.1, but the result is the same.
I will try and find time to file a bug report...

Thanks,
