Re: [Nagios-devel] New Feature: sorting of service- and hostnames

Hi,

thanks for that explanation.
I've done a patch which also does compile. What it does is sort
hostnames in a domains-aware manner by parsing them dot-wise beginning
at the end. It's not a big thing, so I'd suggest reading the source....

Does anyone think this would be of some use for one??

Thanks
Lars
