Hello!
I want to make a list of maybe 400-600 items, each with a thumbsize
image. Other data includes a major and minor category name, and
descriptive text. I want to be able to sort the list on the category
names, at least.
I have been experimenting with Calc and have of course come up against
the problem of images not sorting as part of rows. I much prefer the
simplicity of Calc to using Base (which I've never managed to master).
Have you tried the task in Writer? Writer-tables have only small tools
for calculating and no named data ranges, no pivot-table or so. But a
simple three-layer sorting is possible. I have tested it for small
tables and that works without problems. You mark the rows which you want
to sort and use Tools > Sort... Only the large number of items might be
a problem.
Writer-tables have the very nice property, that the image is
automatically downscales to the column-width on inserting. Additional
advantage is, that you have the full styling and editing features of Writer.
Kind regards
Regina
