Hi, I'm having an issue with a script using coreutils 8.25. Asked to sort two version numbers, 8.49 and 8.5, it returns them in the wrong order, with the lowest value second:
$ echo -e '8.49\n8.5' | sort -V 8.5 8.49 I can produce the expected behaviour by correcting the second version number to two decimal places: $ echo -e '8.49\n8.50' | sort -V 8.49 8.50 I understand that sort -V is not reliable in all cases, but this seems like quite a straightforward one. Thank you.
