I didn't suggest it but I did warn against it. It's worth repeating I guess.

It fooled me once.
Just as long as you use it only for sorting it would be okay then?
I suppose you could also just convert the address to hex.
0x182FB0FF (I think that is right. The OS X calculator doesn't do hex)
It looks a lot better than decimal values as you can make out each part of
the address.
