I suggest qsort(). You will need to write your own callback procedure. In
that procedure, break the IP address up into it's components, either put
them into numeric fields or add your leading zeros, and decide which is
higher. There examples all over the web and in the archives to get you on
your way.

Sorting Question








I have the need to sort a file of IP addresses on a display as if they had
a leading zero. For example they want to see



192.44.208.119
192.44.208.12
192.44.208.120


to be sorted as



192.44.208.12
192.44.208.119
192.44.208.120


as if the .12 had a leading zero. This is a character field. Any
suggestions? Thanks in advance.



Jon
