Gnumeric sort dialog

[John N S Gill <jng renre com>]

I'm probably a bit slow noticing this.. some time in the last year or so
gnumeric has acquired a shiny new sort dialog.

There are lots of good things about this dialog (eg you can sort rows or
columns + all rows/columns are available as sort fields).

However, the dialog is a lot more cumbersome in the case where you want
to sort an area with say 20 columns and you want to sort on column 20.

You have to bring the dialog up and then move column 20 to the top of
the sort criteria.

With the new dialog the amount of 'work' a user has to do to set up a
sort depends on how far to the right the columns they wish to sort are,
with the older dialog the work was proportional to the number of columns
you wish to sort on.

Am i missing something here?
