Sort IP List

[Alex Tweedly]

Why not just do it directly (avoid the function call) ...

function sortIPList2 pIPList
    set the itemdelimiter to "."
    try
       sort lines of pIPList ascending numeric \
             by (item 1 of each * 16777216) + \
             (item 2 of each *65536) + \
             (item 3 of each *256) + \
             (item 4 of each )
    catch theError
       breakpoint
    end try
    return pIPList
end sortIPList2

or if you prefer ...
    by item 4 of each + 256 * ( item 3 of each + 256 * (item 2 of each + 256 * item 1 of each ))
...
