(In reply to chris.siller from comment #7)
I am suggesting to add the ability to sort the sequence of the HEADINGS
THEMSELVES in the document flow (not their index entries, as requested in
the other bug).

Such a (automatic) sort feature is a very complicated thing. Your example sorts
the second level but keeps the first heading, in other cases you may want to
sort only the third level or do it independently from any level. And actually
it is not the task of a word processor to generate structured text. If you
start to collect Grimm's work you do it in a database and export the result
eventually. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to sort headings but not
automatically. To do so we have the Navigator (hopefully improved sooner than
later
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/07/31/how-the-navigator-may-support-object-handling-in-libreoffice-draw/).

On the other hand the request makes sense in a few situations between the
structured data approach with Base and the manual processing in Writer. So my
recommendation is to have this feature as an extension. Changing the component
accordingly.
