    Excel.

    Show me an OSS alternative to Excel that actually does tables, one of the most used, basic functions in excel.

    I use tables every day for things like:I have a list of movies, sort them by producer. Or by production date. Or main actor. All these require a a single click on a column, something Open Office devs refuse to ever implement.

    I use Linux every day for my servers, but not as my desktop. There’s too much stuff like this that I don’t have time for.

      Does this LbreOffice example answer your question?

      OpenOffice got bought by Oracle apparently so people are jumping ship to LibreOffice.

      I’ve not tried to make such a table myself in Libreoffice, but when I open one that someone at work made with excel, everything works as expected.

      Can you showcase this specific feature you are asking about? Maybe other software or platforms have it under different names or a different solution.
