sorting with images?

Post by daveb »

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet with several columns containing text & numbers, etc and one column that contains images. When I perform a sort, the images do not get sorted but everything else does. These are bitmaps which I have pasted (and shrunk to fit) into a standardized cell and are anchored to the cell. I am using verison 2.2. Am I pasting incorrectly or doing something else wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dave

OOo includes a database module with it's own relational database engine. The tables allow binary fields for all kinds of data, including images. Images on a spreadsheet are attached on an additional layer (so called draw page). They are not treated as sheet data.

Thanks for the update Villeroy. Seems like it should be able to do this, but then again what do I know. Oh humm, back to the drawing board.
