Effect is reproducible with Parallel Dev-Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta2- WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build-ID : 8589e48-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978], but it's a feature, not a bug.

@Alexander Wilms:
I am pretty sure that in "sort by" you saw "a" instead "A1"? That means in Tab "Options" "'Range contains column labels' is checked. So "a" is aour column label. and everything you describe is correct.
Comment 2 Alexander Wilms 2012-01-02 09:23:21 UTC 
Yes, I saw this option in the dialogue. But unchecking it isn't persistent. And what would most people expect? I reported this because someone on the LO Facebook page had a problem, so I wonder whether this behavior is LO specific or if Excel works the same.
