    [12:05] Patrick: #5 Sort function
    [12:08] Patrick: Interger|Array - versus Any - ?
    [12:11] Regina Henschel: Specifiying data type 'Integer' includes that
    implicit conversion is in place, whereas using data type 'Any' means,
    that no implicit conversion is done.
    [12:12] Regina Henschel: 6.3.6 Conversion to Integer, part 4
    [12:15] Regina Henschel:
    https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part4-formula.html#__RefHeading__1017990_715980110
    [12:17] Patrick: Could specify what happens if a value in an array is
    not an integer - but would require a lot of text
    [12:27] Patrick: Interger|Array - OK - but see how to formulate constraints
    [12:35] Patrick: Sorting - Andrew, Carol, Bob - Sorted Andrew, Bob,
    Carol - Assigned positive integers Andrew - 1, Bob - 2, Carol - 3 (in
    the sort index)
    [12:38] Patrick: Ignore Patrick - the sort index is the rows or columns
    order of sorting
    [12:39] Patrick: in summary - multi-level sorting
    [12:40] Patrick: One function is either columns or rows, not both in the
    same operation
    [12:41] Regina Henschel: Values can be sorted by one column or as
    multi-level sorting by more columns or values can be sorted by one row
    or as multi-level sorting by more rows.
    [12:43] Francis Cave: Values can be sorted either by column or by row.
    The function allows for multi-level sorting, i.e. sorting first by one
    column or row then by another.
    [12:45] Patrick: Regina - Use The function allows for multi-level
    sorting. (in the summary)
    [12:45] Patrick: details in the semantics
    [12:50] Michael Stahl: "the array that provides the input to be sorted"
    [12:51] Patrick: Patrick - Input to sort. (leaving the array elsewhere
    stated)
    [12:53] Patrick: name attribute of a range element
    [12:53] Francis Cave: The value may be the value of the name attribute
    of an element <table:database-range>
    [12:55] Patrick: Regina - Excel has a table name attribute so conversion
    is possible
    [12:56] Patrick: Regina - Alfred - can sort in Excel link to a database
    directly?
    [12:59] Patrick: directly in a sort function -
    [12:59] Patrick: Alfred says yes
    [13:01] Patrick: parameter data source in Excel? Regina - need to
    describe for sort function
    [13:02] Patrick: Adjourned</table:database-range>
