Re: [libreoffice-users] Add a 'Sort' button to the tops of columns?

Database.

What you are looking for is a fairly standard database function.  People find a 
nicely done  "form" in a database is much easier than fumbling with a 
spreadsheet.  Spreadsheets are for fairly advanced users with fairly good maths 
skills and/or logic.  A database keeps the data safe from most common blunders 
that people often make with spreadsheets and allows various reports to be 
pulled-off reasonably easily.  It also allows people with artistic skills to 
create a nicer looking form without necessarily seeing the data.

Thanks - I know how to sort the data manually. I want to know how to add
a button so that my users can do it with the click of a button...

Hmmm... maybe that is why I titled the subject of the email and worded
the question the way I did - ya think?
