sorting IP-Addresses

[Frank]

I found an advice to easily sort IP-Addresses:

F:\Temp >type clip:
192.168.85.26
192.168.81.52
192.168.82.70
192.168.81.160
192.168.85.72
192.168.87.70
192.168.87.111
192.168.87.88
192.168.170.5
192.168.82.115
192.168.81.173
192.168.83.87
192.168.87.34
192.168.87.73
192.168.87.107
192.168.98.55
