Sample ODT file which has LOTS and LOTS of Custom Paragraph Styles

1.  Open the attached `ODT` file.
2. Place cursor on the TOC, Right-Click, Edit Index -> Assign Styles 
3. In the resulting dialog, note the `triangle` in the `Styles` header field.  It "suggests" that the Styles are sorted alphabetically.  But in fact the styles are not sorted.  Click on the `styles` header field once more to "force" sorting.  Note that the style names aren't getting sorted.

See attached screenshot for what I mean.


As an aside, I would have appreciated if there is a way to "narrow" the style names to those that are actually mapped to a non-zero level.  

My gut feeling is that there is a scope for improving the "Assign Styles" UI.

Comment 5 Andreas Heinisch 2022-06-29 08:27:54 UTC
It is sorted in 6.4 but the triangle at the top does nothing. I think we could drop the triangle, show all the selected styles (> 0) at the beginning, and then sort the rest.

Opinions?

This is fine with GTK3 VCL plugin, but can be reproduced with gen in Linux.

It went bad in two steps, sorting stopped working with the following commit, bibisected using repo bibisect-linux-64-6.2.

"weld SwAddStylesDlg"

Then the list became unordered with the following commit in 7.2. Adding CC: to Caolán McNamara.
