FWIW I use 'sort' to sort IPv4 addresses in my ping_scan[1] script.
The info documentation for sort provides another example, log files
sorted by IP address and time stamp. That specific example even needs
two runs of sort, because sort lacks built-in support for IP addresses.
While IPv4 addresses are readily sorted by "sort -s -t '.' -k 1,1n -k
2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n", this is not the case for IPv6 addresses. Having
an option for sorting IP addresses that supports both IPv4 and IPv6
seems like a useful addition to me.
Thanks,
Erik
