that doesn't work perfectly.

166.141.22.4
166.141.22.40
166.141.22.41
166.141.22.47
166.141.22.48
166.141.22.5

is wrong.

that should be

166.141.22.4
166.141.22.5
166.141.22.40
166.141.22.41
166.141.22.47
166.141.22.48

Subject: RE: Sorting IP Addresses

Stripped this out of a DNSBL we run (the DNSBL actually reverses the order
of octets in an IP address). This code should work, though I imagine there's
a prettier way to do it.

SELECT *
FROM SourceIPSpamCount
ORDER BY
SUBSTRING(SourceIP, 1, CHARINDEX('.', SourceIP) - 1), SUBSTRING(SourceIP,
CHARINDEX('.', SourceIP) + 1,CHARINDEX('.', SourceIP, CHARINDEX('.',
SourceIP) + 1) - CHARINDEX('.', SourceIP) - 1),
REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(SourceIP), CHARINDEX('.', REVERSE(SourceIP))
+ 1, CHARINDEX('.', REVERSE(SourceIP), CHARINDEX('.', REVERSE(SourceIP))
+ 1) - CHARINDEX('.', REVERSE(SourceIP)) - 1)),
REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(SourceIP), 1, CHARINDEX('.',
REVERSE(SourceIP)) - 1))

Subject: Sorting IP Addresses

Hi all,

I have some lengthy tables filled with IP addresses.  Given that the IP
addresses are contained in a single text field (and not four individual
octet fields), what would be the SIMPLEST way to sort those IPs in a SQL
query?

For example, 'SELECT IP FROM IP_TABLE ORDER BY IP' produces the following
sort order:

123.123.123.10
123.123.123.11
123.123.123.2
123.123.123.20
123.123.123.21
123.123.123.3

But, of course, the desired results would instead be:

123.123.123.2
123.123.123.3
123.123.123.10
123.123.123.11
123.123.123.20
123.123.123.21

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dave
