Description

The sort plugin for ip addresses seems to work well for just ip addresses. It does not seem to handle data with port indicators instead of just IPs. Examples:

  • [fc00:dead:beef::1]:80
  • 127.0.0.1:443
  • 127.0.0.1:80

Research direction

Start by locating the ip-address.js sort plugin and reviewing how it parses IPv4 and IPv6 values. Reproduce sorting with the three port-bearing examples from the issue, then verify that addresses with ports sort correctly alongside plain IP addresses. No test file is mentioned, so inspect the repository for the plugin's existing tests before adding coverage.
