Your attached document is designed wrong. This is a classic mistake made
by people who don't understand how spreadsheets function. If you sort it
with Google Sheets, Excel, Open Office Calc, LO Calc 4.2.8, Gnumeric, or
WPS sheets they will all produce the same, correct results. Why?  You
used references when you should be using a table lookup function.


If we change the default sorting behavior to fix your broken spreadsheet, all 
spreadsheets through out the history of spreadsheets software would be 
incompatible with Libreoffice's sorting routine. You can have your broken 
sorting behavior by changing the option UpdateRef=TRUE. But be warned: your 
spreadsheet will NOT sort correctly on any other spreadsheet software, include 
libreoffice with default settings. A much better solution is to design your 
spreadsheets correctly by using a lookup function.
