10.152.16.23
192.168.3.10

10.152.16.23
69.52.220.44
192.168.1.4
192.168.1.5
192.168.2.1

Answer 1

This might look as a hack, but it does exactly what you need:

var unsortedIps =
    new[]
    {
        "192.168.1.4",
        "192.168.1.5",
        "192.168.2.1",
        "10.152.16.23",
        "69.52.220.44"
    };

var sortedIps = unsortedIps
    .Select(Version.Parse)
    .OrderBy(arg => arg)
    .Select(arg => arg.ToString())
    .ToList();
