LibreOffice 4.4.2.2 on Windows Vista 32 bit.

It doesn't crash at that point for me, but on pressing "OK" to do the 
sort, it does crash. However, sort on column C, then sort on column B, 
does not crash. Even stranger, sort on column C, undo, then sort on 
column B, does not crash.

It looks like there's something about that particular sheet, in that 
particular state, which triggers the crash.

I'd suggest filing a bug at http://bugs.libreoffice.org/, attaching that 
file and description as a test case. I can help you with that if 
necessary, or if you're happy doing it yourself please post the bug 
number here so the rest of us know where to find it.

That's probably your best option for now, unless you can track down what 
it is about that sheet causing the problem and avoid it.

Mark.
