Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
I would really like to have an option to sort by IP address (IPv4 and
IPv6).  The existing solutions (e.g. "-t. -n -k1,1 -k2,2 -k3,3 -k4,4")
are not really usable if the IP address is not the first field and are
also very clumbsy.  Sorting by date would be nice too, but is more
complicated due to whitespace in dates.

If I write a patch, should I submit it to you or to upstream?

Best,
  Norbert
