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.
