Is there something that can be gleaned from the > alpha-listing? Coincidentally, I just ran a report about 5 minutes ago to help debug a server problem, and as soon as I saw the Host report, I re-ran Analog with HOSTSORTBY REQUESTS, because an alphabetical sorting wasn't useful to me. If you have DNS disabled, an Alphabetical sorting of hosts may make sense, because IP numbers are written "most significant byte first". But by and large I'd agree with you, and prefer that the default sort order for the Host Report be by Requests.
