Resolution: Won't Fix

Confluence standalone 4.3.2. Also tested in Confluence 5.0.
Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
I have a table that lists network devices with IP addresses. It would be useful to be able to sort by IP address so I can view devices per subnetwork.
However, it seems that Confluence fails to sort if there are no letters in that column.
Case in point: I tried adding a letter ("c" in my case) to any cell in that column and sorting worked. After removing the letter, sorting did not work.
I don't have access to this Confluence instance's logs at the moment, but I'm fairly sure Confluence runs into an exception when trying to sort this column.
To reproduce:
- Copy this into a Confluence page and try to sort by the different columns.
Device IP Location A 192.168.0.1 New York B 192.168.1.1 Los Angeles You should see that sorting by 'Device' or 'Location' works fine, while sorting by 'IP' does not.
- Add a letter after either IP. Now try sorting by that column again. Sorting should now work.
