**Description:**
Colums in the IP/CIDR format to not sort properly in class="wikitable sortable" tables.
IPs sort correctly, (apparently using numeric sort, which is nice.)
```
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! A !! IP
|-
| errata-prod || 25.71.30.0
|-
| errata-test || 25.71.31.0
|-
| Satellite || 25.71.32.0
|-
| foobar || 25.23.33.0
|-
| AD3 || 25.71.33.0
|-
| AD3 FOO || 25.71.34.0
|-
| zfs || 192.168.151.0
|}
Upon sorting by IP, we get a table like this (Text Rendered here)
+-------------+---------------
!```
Upon sorting by IP, we get a table like this:
| A !| IP ^
+
|---------------+|------------------
| foobar | 25.23.33.0
| errata-prod | 25.71.30.0
| errata-test | 25.71.31.0
| Satellite | 25.71.32.0
| AD3 | 25.71.33.0
| AD3 FOO | 25.71.34.0
| zfs | 192.168.151.0
However when we add the CIDR mask to the IPs, the table does not sort correctly.
```
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! A !! IP
|-
| errata-prod || 25.71.30.0/24
|-
| errata-test || 25.71.31.0/24
|-
| Satellite || 25.71.32.0/24
|-
| foobar || 25.23.33.0/24
|-
| AD3 || 25.71.33.0/24
|-
| AD3 FOO || 25.71.34.0/24
|-
| zfs || 192.168.151.0/24
|}
```
Sorting by IP gives
+-------------+---------------
!
| A !| IP ^
+
|---------------+|------------------
| errata-prod | 25.71.30.0/24
| errata-test | 25.71.31.0/24
| Satellite | 25.71.32.0/24
| foobar | 25.23.33.0/24
| AD3 | 25.71.33.0/24
| AD3 FOO | 25.71.34.0/24
| zfs | 192.168.151.0/24
Which is incorrect, 'foobar' is not where is should be. It appears to be sorted by the third decimal octet which is confirmed by changing the foobar value to '25.23.47.0/24'
Which gives the 'sorted' table
+-------------+-----------------
!
| A !| IP ^
+
|-------------+|------------------
| errata-prod | 25.71.30.0/24
| errata-test | 25.71.31.0/24
| Satellite | 25.71.32.0/24
| AD3 | 25.71.33.0/24
| AD3 FOO | 25.71.34.0/24
| foobar | 25.23.47.0/24
| zfs | 192.168.151.0/24
Changing the CIDR mask doesn't change the outcome
+-------------+-----------------
!| A !| IP ^
+
|-------------+|------------------
| errata-prod | 25.71.30.0/16
| errata-test | 25.71.31.0/16
| Satellite | 25.71.32.0/16
| AD3 | 25.71.33.0/16
| AD3 FOO | 25.71.34.0/24
| foobar | 25.23.47.0/16
| zfs | 192.168.151.0/24
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Table Sorted by IP/CIDR should output the rows in the same order as IP alone.
+-------------+-----------------
!
| A !| IP ^
+
|-------------+|------------------
| foobar | 25.23.47.0/16
| errata-prod | 25.71.30.0/16
| errata-test | 25.71.31.0/16
| Satellite | 25.71.32.0/16
| AD3 | 25.71.33.0/16
| AD3 FOO | 25.71.34.0/24
| zfs | 192.168.151.0/24
