SWQL and IP Addresses

Since Solarwinds is all about managing IP Addresses, there should be some functions that aid with exactly that.

Short of functions like INET_ATON, INET_NTOA, IS_IPV4, IS_IPV6 & ... (MySQL :: MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual :: 12.23 Miscellaneous Functions ), it'd be great to have:

1. A c# style split function to parse out octets, (yes there's a SUBSTRING, but it and CHARINDEX are clunky).

2. A sort mechanism that orders by numerical parts (.net - How to sort list of Ip Addresses using c# - Stack Overflow )
