In the manage changes dialog (Edit -> Track Changes -> Manage...), the list of changes have four columns: Action, Author, Date, and Comment. All the column headers are clickable. For the latter three, clicking the header will sort the list in ascending/descending order, with an arrow shown on the header for indication. However, clicking on the Action header doesn't seem to change the list order in any meaningful way, or changing the order at all. Currently there seems to be only two kinds of actions - addition and deletion. Sorting based on this doesn't make much sense anyway. I am not sure what the correct solution is, though. I first notice this bug in 6.2.x series, but I can also reproduce in 6.3.x as well as 6.4.0 beta1, all on Windows 10. So I'm not bothering with the "About LO" information here.
Created attachment 156381 [details] An example document with three tracked changes This should be easily reproduced with any file containing tracked changes. But for convenience I'm attaching an example.

FWIW apparently there are 10 different change tracking types in writer.

Thanks for the quick fix, Caolán! (In reply to Caolán McNamara from comment #4) > FWIW apparently there are 10 different change tracking types in writer. Hmm, I would have never guessed. Although my comment was mainly about the fact that a simple "replace a word" change is represented by an addition and a deletion in the changes list, and sorting by Action would separate them. But that's the topic of another bug.
