Sample file for test

For Defined Data Ranges, options for Filter are preserved, but not some Sort options.

Preserved Option
Yes       Case sensitive.
No        Range contains row labels.
Yes       Include formats.
No        Enable natural sort.
Yes       Copy sort results to.
No        Custom sort order.
Yes       Language.
Yes       Top to bottom/Left to right.

Doing directly a manual sort with the buttons for Sort inside a defined range, CLEAR the options. Selecting data range again doesn't restore the options.

I'm not sure if it's really a bug, but it's really annoying.

What test: Go e.g. to A2 change any option with 'No' for preserved for an option listed above, save and reopen the file, option is restored to default value.

Actually, when you define a range, and then reuse that range to sort, only 3 criteria are saved for sorting, not all. Maybe an increase to 6 instead of 3 would be enough for many.

See bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119310 for details. (it is mentioned above as a duplicate of this bug).
Comment 4 AdrienneS 2019-01-23 19:28:26 UTC 
Yes, increasing saved sort criteria to 6 would be very helpful, thanks. Version: 6.1.4.2 (x64) on Windows still only saving 3...

Number of sorting options were fixed in bug 105301.

Andreas, can you test if this bug was also solved by this commit?
