Sorting SNMP numeric OID's?

[Ed Fair]

Has it ever been discussed to add an option to the sort utility for sorting 
numeric SNMP object identifiers by sub-identifier?  For example, the output of 
the command below?
$ snmptranslate -mUDP-MIB -TB -On '.*' 

In this specific test case, there are no more than 11 fields, but this sort 
does not have the desired effect:  snmptranslate -mUDP-MIB -TB -On '.*' | sort 
-t. -n -k1,11

The below command seems to work in this specific test case, but is not a 
general-purpose solution: 

$ snmptranslate -mUDP-MIB -TB -On '.*' | sort -t. -n -k1,1 -k2,2 -k3,3 -k4,4 
-k5,5 -k6,6 -k7,7 -k8,8 -k9,9 -k10,10 -k11

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
