Description: Tracking changes are sorted by action, not by date (by default) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open attachment 162927 [details] (assuming there is no author set in Options) 2. CTRL+A 3. Backspace 4. Edit -> Track changes -> Manage Notice the list not being sorted by date (or by name). I assume sorted by action Actual Results: Sorted by action Expected Results: Sorted by date? Or I'm looking at it from the wrong perspective (I mostly interested in the last changes). Or is this not THE workflow Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 8700bace8c0714d853f5df6918ab9c8bb3d81f77 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL
Is this a thing, or I'm the person who is abusing the tracking changes concept?
They are sorted by order of appearance in the document. Quite natural, I think.. if you select the first change and travel through you visit the changes in order.

In my case I simply wanted to undo the change I made (while retaining the changes someone else made)
Sorting has been proposed in bug 87695 about TC's UX, in particular but not only related to the sidebar. I recommend to make this ticket a duplicate. In case people disagree, I vote for sorting per click on the list header, ideally any. Definitely not a new control or option somewhere.
you are one click away to sort it by date, use the column header to sort it. Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX
