Description:
It would be nice if MediaWiki could correctly sort IPv4 addresses (e.g. 10.1.203.40) in sortable tables.
Currently, wikibits.js identifies them as numerics and refuses to sort them correctly. Prepending a "&" to force a text search doesn't help unless the IP addresses are uglified to include leading zeros (e.g. 010.001.203.040).
I've attached a patch that adds the ability to automatically identify and sort IPv4 addresses. It's my first MediaWiki contribution, so please review it carefully.
