Case sensitive

Sorting follows the collation rules of the document locale. In most Western locales, lowercase letters appear before uppercase letters, while in others, the order is reversed. For example, in the English (USA) locale, the order is 'a', 'A', 'b', 'B'. In the Danish locale, however, the order is 'A', 'a', 'B', 'b'.

LibreOffice uses collation rules based on the International Components for Unicode (ICU). For detailed collation information specific to your document locale, visit https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/collation.html#legend.

For Asian locales: Check Case Sensitive to apply multi-level collation. With multi-level collation, entries are first compared in their primitive forms with their cases and diacritics ignored. If they evaluate as the same, their diacritics are taken into account for the second-level comparison. If they still evaluate as the same, their cases, character widths, and Japanese Kana difference are considered for the third-level comparison.

Enable natural sort

Natural sorting is an algorithm that orders string-prefixed numbers by their numerical value, rather than treating them as plain text for comparison.

Example: the series of values A1, A15, A9, A4, A5, A17, ..., A2, A13, A21 when sorted in natural order becomes

A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, ..., A19, A20, A21.

The same set of values not sorted naturally becomes

A1, A11, A12, A13, ..., A19, A2, A20, A21, A3, A4, A5, ..., A9.

Recognize decimal separator

The decimal separator character, which varies by locale, when included in the number that follows the text, indicate that it is a decimal number. For example: A1.14, A1.2, A2.5, A10 (with a dot as the separator).

Decimal separator as regular character

The decimal separator character, which varies by locale, does not indicate a decimal number when included in the following text; instead, it is treated as a regular character. For example, A1.14 contains character 'A', number 1, character '.' and number 14.

Include boundary column(s)/row(s) containing only comments

Range boundary columns (for sorting rows) or boundary rows (for sorting columns) of a sorting range are not sorted by default if they are empty. Check this option if boundary columns or boundary rows containing comments are also to be sorted.

Include boundary column(s)/row(s) containing only images

Border columns (for sorting rows) or border rows (for sorting columns) of a sorting area are not sorted by default if they are empty. Check this option if boundary columns or boundary rows containing images are also to be sorted.

The copy process first copies the source data to the target range and then sorts the data in place. This order of operations is important if the source range is unsorted and contains formulas, as copying a range automatically adjusts the relative cell references in those formulas.


Sort results (named ranges list)

Select a named cell range where you want to display the sorted list.

Sort results (input box)

Enter the cell range where you want to display the sorted list.
