database exhibiting issue behaviour

When attempting to sort a table column XXX, the Sort A-Z and Sort Z-A commands produce the following error: "Error setting the source criteria. The column  XXX must be visible as a column. SQL status: 01000, Error code 1000." This failure occurs (apparently only) in a database created as an Evolution addres data source.
To reporoduce this problem, Using Wizard->Address Data Source..., select Evolution as the external addrss data source. Map the various field assignments (Family name, given name, etc.). An .odb database will be created. Open this database, and open the Evolution table. In my case, the table name is "Personal".
Select a column, any column. Select Sort A-Z or Sort Z-A. This produces the error "Error setting the source criteria. The column  XXX must be visible as a column. SQL status: 01000, Error code 1000." Additional informationation: If a general sort is executed, the sort does not seem to work at all. There is no change is the displayed data.

Isn't this an old bug from OOo days, where LDAP/Evolution datasources couldn't be sorted ?

It could be. I am no longer on Linux, so I cannot test thsi. I belive it was fixed before I left Linux.
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2014-07-23 21:18:04 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with LO 4.2 sources updated 2 weeks ago, I could reproduce this.
(I tried "Evolution local")

I noticed this log:
warn:dbaccess:12055:1:dbaccess/source/core/api/SingleSelectQueryComposer.cxx:978: We have column labels for *some* columns but not all

Comment 12 Julien Nabet 2021-12-12 11:12:57 UTC
I gave a try with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/126698

Remark: There's also a perf pb here. I created 2 contacts for testing and sorting takes some seconds. Anyway, that's another story.
