(Get the code!)
Gentlemen,
As an outsider who has only begun reading about this issue (since the change in workflow affected me) I would like to add my perspective.
I think it is essential that default behaviour should not be changed in any mature application unless there is overwhelming evidence that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Furthermore, I think it is important (though not always essential) to mirror the default behaviour of significant competitors, in this case Excel.
The change in sort behaviour is so significant and so counter-intuitive for those of us coming from other products, that I believe it should not be made unless the default behaviour can remain compatible.
Just my $0.02 worth.
