Sortbar for Openoffice


Google Docs has had a sortbar for a while now. It is a divider between the column header row and the other rows that gives you a drop down box to sort. Does such a feature exist on OpenOffice? Another thing that would work is something like many email clients (I use Kmail) have that allows you to click any of the columns (date, subject, etc.) to sort by that field. Is there a way to do this in openoffice?

Thanks!

Are you talking about documents or a spreadsheet?
If the latter: Go to Data .... Sort

Yes, it is on Calc. I know how to sort it normally. What I was wondering is if there is a way to easily sort columns by clicking on the column header.

Thanks
