Re: Sorting IP Address Data

Chris, Understand the problem now. All you need to keep is the last octect of the IP Address. The following code snippet generates an array entry for each ip. The array is then sorted and the result prepended with the base IP. <? $strBaseIP = "127.0.0."; for ($i=0;$i<=255;$i++) { $strIP = $i; print "IP = $strIP<br>"; $aryIP[$i] = $strIP; } sort($aryIP); for ($i=0;$i<=255;$i++) { $strIP = $strBaseIP.$aryIP[$i]; print "IP = $strIP<br>"; } ?> Pretty rough and ready but it should point you in the right direction. If you need to sort IP's from differnet subnets then you need to split the IP as per the previous suggestion.
