I had to sort some dns entries in the dns manager on the dns server and fout out that is it doing al it's sorting text based. :-( This was tested on a Windows 2008 R2 (SP1) server. On a Windows 2003 R2 (SP2) server the ip-numbers get sorted correctly and the timestamp field is not available. So ip-numbers are listed as: 172.16.132.1 172.16.132.11 172.16.132.12 172.16.132.2 172.16.132.21 etc. Sorting by date/time gives me: 1-10-2009 1-9-2009 2-9-2009 3-11-2010 4-1-2011 4-2-2010 5-12-2009 etc. Can someone please ask the developers to change this to a relevant way of sorting the view? The current way is all but unusable.

Hi Bonno, Thanks for posting here. Yes, this is a new changing in Windows Server 2008 and above versions . As a workaround , you can export records to Excel and sort it by number. Thanks.

Well I hope MS will change this asap as the current sorting makes no sense at all. Might be a nice adition to SP2 for Server 2008 R2.
