    I don't believe this is worthwhile.  
    You've made the format harder for humans to 
    deal with just so that an automated tool has an
    easier time.  Anyone wanting to cut and paste
    one of the domain names now has to manually
    reverse it before proceeding.  
    
    A better approach would be to use a trivial awk
    script to transform the domain names, sort,
    and then run the same awk script to put them back.
    
    I do see the value in having one line per entry.
    I applied that part.
