    AIXers,

    Given a file "XX" whose contents are the following:
    219.144.82.44
    219.133.253.24
    219.133.146.220
    219.133.136.94
    219.133.65.24
    219.133.11.177

    I'm trying to sort "XX" so the results are as follows:
    219.133.11.177
    219.133.65.24
    219.133.136.94
    219.133.146.220
    219.133.253.24
    219.144.82.44

    I've tried the following sort :
    sort -u -d -t. +0 -n +1 -n +2 -n +3 -n XX

    But the results are as follows: (The 3rd column is out of order)
    219.133.11.177
    219.133.136.94
    219.133.146.220
    219.133.253.24
    219.133.65.24
    219.144.82.44

    When I do sort -u -d -t. +2 -n +3 -n XX (The 3rd & 4th columns are in
    order)
    I get the following:
    219.133.11.177
    219.133.65.24
    219.144.82.44
    219.133.136.94
    219.133.146.220
    219.133.253.24

    I've also tried the following which work OK on the column specified:
     sort -u -d -t. +3 -n XX
     sort -u -d -t. +2 -n XX
     sort -u -d -t. +1 -n XX

    What am I missing in the sort:
    sort -u -d -t. +0 -n +1 -n +2 -n +3 -n XX

    ?

    Thanks,
