I think my proposal is simpler: add ?f and ?F to built-in options, in
which case user is prompted for a custom sorting function (in your case,
`org-ip-lessp'). It is also more consistent with `org-sort-list'.

Also, IMO, IP address sort should not be built-in, and needs not with
the proposal above.
