Fix for #6320

[grogi]

Closes #6320

This introduces additional sorting function - sortAddress - that extends the behaviour of existing sortIp. There were two options effectively here

• expand the sortIp and (although unlikely) potentially modify the existing behaviour
• create a new sorting function.

The second approach was selected. The unit tests for the previous implementation pass 100%, there is a new set of tests for the new function as well.

I also cleaned up a bit the code around sorting, added some additional type safety and removed a need for es-lint overrides.
