Sorting varchars that contain IP addresses

I am trying to retrieve a list of IP numbers that are stored as character strings. When I sort them, I want them in "numerical" order, but since they are strings, they get sorted as text, e.g.:

129.83.149.10
129.83.149.11
129.83.149.2
129.83.149.21

What I want is:

129.83.149.2
129.83.149.10
129.83.149.11
129.83.149.21

Any good ideas?
