Calc: Pre-View Spreadsheet Filtering

- Working on resorting again
  - Check the auto filter and store the sorting only if the auto-filter is sorted
  - Added tests cases for this

- Call with Michael regarding tile invalidation
  - We don’t change the sheets when changing to a sheet view, just use another sheet to hold the data
    - this is a problem for the invalidations, because the content of a sheet view can differ a lot to the default sheet or between sheet views
    - but we can’t communicate properly distinguish between sheet views and default view - we assume it’s the same

  - Agreed to change approach here - will abandon sheet views on ViewData level, and instead do it in UI (better approach down the road)
  - So a sheet view will change the sheet in the background to another sheet associated with the sheet view, but pretend on the UI to still be the original sheet
  - This should avoid tile invalidation issue, but the code needs to be rewritten now

- COOL UI
  - looked a bit why the CI fails, maybe unrelated but
  - eventually it did pass
  - got the change in so the sheet views are in as experimental

XLSX with pivot table fails to open in Calc (regression)

- Interesting case of a pivot table - has a field “Months”, which is automatically added in MSO for a date field
  - But the data in the sheet doesn’t exist, so we run completely from cache
  - We try to access the Month field but it’s not in LO cache, so this was crashing
  - For PT Format we need the information, so need to find a better way
  - Maybe good to properly implement reading from OOXML pivot table cache
  - But a quick fix is to just skip pivot table format in such cases - would still show the pivot table data correctly just like before
