In Excel 2003, the autofilter sorting function would sort the columns of the
whole sheet, even when the autofilter area only included i.e. the columns A
to F.

When doing the same in version 2007, only the columns included in the actual
autofilter range, is sorted...

Example:

A B C
1 x1 y3 z1
2 x2 y2 z2
3 x3 y3 z3

When having autofilter on only column A and sorting it descending you get
the following result in 2007:

A B C
1 x3 y1 z1
2 x2 y2 z2
3 x1 y3 z3

Whereas 2003 will give this result:

A B C
1 x3 y3 z3
2 x2 y2 z2
3 x1 y1 z1

Which is more correct...

Is this a new "feature" or a bug?
