coreutils sort

[Christian]

Hello,

I've got a question about sort.  I've got a gentoo based system and I
noticed that my usually command to sort IP addresses does not seem to work
anymore.
I know for sure that it doesn't work with 5.94 and 5.97.

This is the command:

sort -nt. +0 -1 +1 -2 +2 -3 +3 -4

and here is the error:

sort: invalid option -- 1
Try `sort --help' for more information.

I've been using that command syntax to sort IP's for several years without
any problems until just recently.

Thanks,
Christian
