* How autofilter should work (Mattias, Heiko)
 
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63416
      Should it be "smart" and try to guess about header fields (and possibly sometimes fail)
      or should it be always consistent and just assume the first row is the header (as MSO does it)
    + sorting is also affected by auto filter
    + check the competitor's solutions (Jay)
      -> define test scenario first
          - what happens when autofilter buttons are placed in the middle of data rows
          - what happens when autofiltered data (some rows hidden) is sorted (using usual sorting 
tool)
          - what happens when you try to filter the autofilter row out (if it's treated as data, 
not in MSO)
    + consider to ask the community in case of more than one good solutions (Heiko)
    + mimic the bevahior of Microsoft Excel if there isn't better (Ibrahim)


    + resolved in the bug (mostly comment #29) (Heiko) conclusion in:
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63416#c29
 
    + comparison of office suite behavior
      https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vW1orR4ZbXHDmQDpbJVH4N2f1w_iYP6GtDLYgJ4pWSk/edit

    + comment from moggi from IRC
      "just a tip for the future (I'm not involved it in anymore): before you try to specify some
       calc behavior it might be a good idea to talk to the calc maintainers, calc has a few 
concepts
       that go through the whole program which might not be obvious to everyone"
