> Is this still a problem on the latest SVN builds?

Due to a hard drive crash, I can't test the very latest SVN build at the
moment, but as of version 1.3.3 (SVN 31863):

1) Clicking a column now sorts low-to-high as one would expect, so that part
seems to be fixed.

2) The Longitude column is still sorting incorrectly.  It looks like the sort
is being done as ASCII text instead of as a numeric sort.  For example, like
before, I get a sort like this:

-0.126200
-122.007401
-71.66702
-97.713898

... which to me appears as if the sort is looking at the 1st digit as ASCII,
i.e., 0 (0x30), 1 (0x31), 7 (0x37), 9 (0x39), instead of as numeric.

When I recover my drive, I will try retesting with the very latest SVN version,
but maybe this is enough information to go by?  It's a rather easy problem to
reproduce - just need to install the GeoIP databases (see
http://wiki.wireshark.org/HowToUseGeoIP) then ping around the world.  I will
attach a small capture file with the above longitudes ...

(BTW, Latitudes are also sorted wrong as the coming capture file will show.)
