This is how it sorts: 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.10 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.20 10.1.1.3 10.1.1.30 It would be very helpful if this sort was made to be aware that it was sorting IP addresses in order to present in this fashion: 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.3 10.1.1.10 10.1.1.20 10.1.1.30That's a good point. I can't even get it to sort as in the first example. (It's sorting by default these three addresses like this: 192.168.0.21 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.190 It looks to me like clicking on the Host column to sort is only sorting by operating system icon. (See how a little arrow appears in both column headers.) Sorting by address independently would be more useful.
I implemented sorting by IP address. It will be in the next release. The options for sorting by hostname are less important and are not implemented now.
