How to paste an HTML table into Libre Office Calc without losing structure

I want to paste an HTML table into Libre Office Calc. The HTML table rows contain images (in column 1) that should stay with their appropriate row. However, when I paste my HTML into Calc, the images are not pasted into rows but are free floating on the sheet. That prevents me from sorting the rows and doing the other spreadsheet operations I need to do on the table. How can I get Calc to accept HTML table data structured like shown below and keep the table structure fully intact? Example of a table (partial): Item Super Duper Item
