Actually, when I originally looked at org-do-sort, my first thought was that it should be table driven. But this is my first patch and I’m the new kid so I didn’t want to come in and start tearing down walls.
My idea for making it table driven is to add an alist whose elements look something like
(prompt-char prompt extraction-function compare-function reverse-compare-function with-case-extraction-function)
The alist would be initialized with the built-in options (including the IP address sort) but a user could call add-to-list to add a custom sort to his or her environment.
If the list agrees, I will resubmit the patch implementing what I’ve described. As a procedural matter, should I submit it to this thread or add a new one?
