NOTE!
- NOTE The default "ipAddress" parser (also named "ipv4Address") is included with the original tablesorter; it was moved to the parser-network.jsfile in v2.18.0.
- In v2.29.3, all included parsers were changed to return a text representation of the network address. The specific issue was that the parsed IPv6 numerical values were too large for javascript to properly recognize the number.
- A parser for IPv6 was added in v2.12 and named "ipv6Address":
			- Unlike some other custom parsers, this one will auto-detect & check for a valid IPv6 address since the same address can be represented in many different ways. Some examples are shown in the demo table below.
- IPv6 addresses are stored in the cache in their canonical decimal form, for faster & easier numerical sorting.
- Extensive unit tests are included with this parser.
 
- If the parser doesn't auto-detect which column has IPv6 addresses, use the headers sorter option to set it:
			$(function() { $('table').tablesorter({ headers: { 1: { sorter: 'MAC' }, // 2: { sorter: 'ipAddress' }, this parser is auto-detected 3: { sorter: 'ipv6Address' } } }); });
- These parsers may also be used with the original tablesorter plugin.
