New Feature: sorting of service- and hostnames in a domain-aware manner

[Lars Volker]

I might be wrong, but i don't think theres a difference between sorting 
hostnames and/or ip-addresses, because the only way to confront the 
status.cgi with ips is when using them as hostnames in which case my 
algorithm will work as desired.....

am i wrong?
