Last year’s sort fix was clearly bodged because it made the sort worse because it only sorts correctly on the fourth byte/octet. It now looks like it sorts the bytes/octets in reverse order, 4,3,2,1 rather than 1,2,3,4. Laughing 
so hard I nearly fell of my chair. 
This time the programmer should test that the sort works correctly when there are different values in any or all of the bytes/octets.
