Wolf Rogner, thank you for reporting this upstream, and your comments. 
Regarding your comments 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1082449/comments/8 :
>"as for the suggested workaround: double sort This does not work under Ubuntu 
>12.10 / LibreOffice 3.6.2.2 sorry"

I also tried the Windows/3.6.3.2 work around in Ubuntu before editing
the Bug Description, and noticed it did not work. This is why I did not
create a third, separate "WORKAROUND:..." entry in the Bug Description.

>"Excel is not a valid workaround as the purpose of using open solutions
is to NOT use proprietary systems."

For the purposes of satisfying the work around criteria noted at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance :
"Bugs that have easy work-arounds"

it is clear Excel would not be considered this, due to Excel not being
provided by Ubuntu. This is why I marked this report Medium, instead of
Low. The WORKAROUNDs in the Bug Description provide informational
options one may potentially use while remaining booted in Ubuntu,
irrespective of software license or cost. As well, noting this
information provides ammo for getting this addressed sooner, as
LibreOffice intends compatibility with Office. This would fit the
criteria of expectation compatibility.

"Gnumeric might me a workaround for some (but not for me)."

Ok. Given Gnumeric is FOSS, providing this potentially gives developers
code to base a patch off of, and as you noted, a work around for others
until the patch lands in Ubuntu.

Thank you for your understanding.
