Feature request: sort addresses/networks

Hello bird-maintainers,

I'd like to propose a cosmetic feature request:

The sorting of addresses/networks listed in "show ospf state" (and 
possibly similar commands as well). Currently networks are listed 
semi-random it seems, like so:

   router 10.0.0.1
     distance 0
     router 10.0.0.2
     stubnet 192.168.1.0/24
     stubnet 192.168.5.0/24
     stubnet 192.168.3.0/24

I'd like it to display the following instead:

   router 10.0.0.1
     distance 0
     router 10.0.0.2
     stubnet 192.168.1.0/24
     stubnet 192.168.3.0/24
     stubnet 192.168.5.0/24

This eases the finding of a given network in sometimes rather largish lists.

Regards,
Ruben Laban
