It's reasonable to expect that *unresolved* ports, which are port numbers, to
be sorted numerically.

Sorting unresolved ports numerically, sorting resolved ports that begin with
characters < '0' in ASCII string order before the unresolved ports (that
"shouldn't happen", but...), sorting resolved ports that begin with digits in
ASCII string order and after the unresolved ports that begin with those digits,
and sorting resolved ports that begin with characters > '9' in ASCII string
order after the unresolved ports, would probably be the right answer here.
