Yes, I also noticed a while back that there are a couple of Excel 
filter bugs reported. I think Ariya did lot's of Excel filter 
hacking, but I'm not sure how active he is these days(?). Probably 
he's also very busy.

Well, IMHO it would be good to group the bugs in two or three bug 
reports - if they can be separated/sorted that is. Otherwise just 
throw them into one report - we can then reduce the list of issues 
with replies to the bug report.

yes, sure :)

I also think this currently. Filters are great, but a well working 
application is more important.

haven't seen the code as well, so no idea how difficult it is. Filters 
are generally considered as a good starting point for new developers 
though.
