It should be possible to have an option in the sort table dialog that selects
wether the table has a heading or not.

This is currently automatic and accurate: see comments under Issue 55513.

The rows indicated by Table properties > Text Flow > Repeat heading are
automatically excluded from sorting.

In what situation would you want to repeat rows, and include them in a sort?

There is a usability issue in that it is easy to create a table that appears to
have no header, yet still has repeated rows.

That is, the default settings create a table with a header; using the toolbar
button there is no other choice. If the user then wishes to "remove" the header
from such a table, he may change the style of the first row to "Table contents",
or simply delete the first row. In both cases, the table now appears to have no
heading, yet still has "Repeat heading" set. It isn't obvious that the table
still has a heading.
