sorting ip addresses

slodave · Mar 14th, 2002, 02:34 PM

I need to sort ip addresses in numerical order. 131.17 should be before 131.111. What do I need to do to get these to sort correctly?
Thanks,
David

xxx.xx.131.111
xxx.xx.131.118
xxx.xx.131.120
xxx.xx.131.17
xxx.xx.15.172
xxx.xx.131.173
xxx.xx.131.174
xxx.xx.5.175
xxx.xx.131.20

If all the IP addresses start with 131 then you can get rid of it and then sort and afterwards add 131 back in.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,Al.

If your IP list begins in cell A2 enter the formula, =MID(A1,12,3)+MID(A1,8,3)*1000, into cell B2, Fill Down and sort on the column B values.
