I have a list a=[192.168.3.4, 23.45.5.67, 192.168.4.6,10.1.1.1].

I should sort this list in the ascending order so that 10.1.1.1 come first and 192.168.4.6 comes at the end of the list. how to achieve that?

list.sort() method won't work here.

hey visph. I have this task as part of my large assignment. I dunno if u knew this. sorting a simple list will work out easy. but sorting a list with IP addresses is very advanced. I have to retrieve only a particular column of destination IP addresses from a wireshark capture file and then I have to sort it and save it as a text file. I have achieved everything above except the sorting part. I have searched in Internet but very few sites have discussed about this. and I didn't understand in those sites. I am not supposed to use any other external modules other than inbuilt. so it is a challenging
