module: dist_sort
version_added: "1.6.6"
short_description:
   - Deterministically sort a list to distribute the elements in the list
     evenly. Based on external values such as host or static modifier. Returns
     a string as named key ``sorted_list``.
description:
   - This module returns a list of servers uniquely sorted based on a index
     from a look up value location within a group. The group should be an
     existing ansible inventory group. This will module returns the sorted
     list as a delimited string.
options:
    src_list:
        description:
            - list in the form of a string separated by a delimiter.
        required: True
    ref_list:
        description:
            - list to lookup value_to_lookup against to return index number

    value_to_lookup:

            - add a static int into the sort equation to weight the output.
