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

Hi :)
Sadly if you want to go from Buckingham Palace to Marble Arch you can't choose 
to go by ocean liner, at least not until after doing massive engineering works 
or using enough explosives to blow a decently large hole in the centre of 
London.  If you want to go deep-sea diving then a horse and cart are unlikely to 
get you down far enough and then up again.  A hammer is not an effective nail 
and a nail is fairly useless as a hammer (except for fairly tiny objects)
Regards from
Tom :)
