Problem Sorting IP Addresses

[ISSchuster]

Hi, great plugin but there is a problem sorting IP Addresses...

Follwing Table:

Server	IP	User	Password
server01	10.61.5.234	root	123456
server02	10.61.5.232	root	123456
server03	10.61.5.231	root	123456
server04	10.61.5.235	root	123456
server05	10.61.5.236	root	123456
server06	10.61.5.237	root	123456

Sorting by IP results in:
10.61.5.234
10.61.5.232
10.61.5.231
10.61.5.235
10.61.5.236
10.61.5.237

or

10.61.5.237
10.61.5.236
10.61.5.235
10.61.5.231
10.61.5.232
10.61.5.234

Doesn't seem quiet right ;-) Any idea for a solution.

Seems it doesn't get sorted at all - even as text it should be sorted correctly?

I often have lists with IP Addresses and would like to sort them.

Thanks.

Just did some more tests:
I replaced the . with a -
10-61-5-234 and so on is sorted correctly... But that's not an IP anymore ;-)

This plugin uses an open source library that has a very naive method of determining whether a column is text, number or date string so it interpreted IP as number. Of course I could write the logic myself but that would create more works for me and IP is kinda niche data, so there is nothing I could do at the moment.

That being said, I will leave this issue open and may get back to it at a later date when I have some free time to spend on this.
