My greatest fear now is all those people who still have not realized
this is happening, and, are still in the process or mangling
spreadsheets.   Until Libre Office releases a patch retroactively fixes
all 4.2.7.2 installations on all Ubuntu 14.04 installations, AND pops up
a special window when people try to sort in future, telling them that
"sorry for months you have not been sorting spreadsheets but rather
mangling them, don't worry though, now it works correctly again, sorry
for the loss of years of work"  then these people will go on mangling
spreadsheets

This is to the point of saying Ubuntu 14.04 should be withdrawn to
prevent any further damage.   It is just not worth it if it damages
years of work.

If this is not the end of LibreOffice, I do not know what will be.
