I have a text file that is listing ip's like below. The text file contains hundreds of entries like below. I need to seperate each entry in the text file and sort them in IP order. How would I go about doing that?

109.77.140.67 - - [30/Jun/2013:07:07:05 -0500] "GET /email/13948staticvoid.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 17181 "http://www.bereans.org/email/index.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3 4.41) AppleWebKit/531.22.8 (KHTML, like Gecko)"

I have tried sorting, but everytime it just sorts by individual letter and not by line

words=open("logbook.txt").read()
print=words

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why you are redefining the print?

Have you tried .readlines() instead of .read() ?
