Follow-up Comment #1, bug #42597 (project grub):
wrong sort in version_test_numeric().
I installed different kernels under arch linux. A grub-mkconfig ordered the
menu entries oddly.
As arch is not using versioning numbers in the kernel image's filenames, it
should sort alphabetically.
Example
/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts
/boot/vmlinuz-hardened
/boot/vmlinuz-zen
the lts entry somehow always was sorted out as "newest". But it should be
following order hardened, lts, zen.
I found a typo in grub-mkconfig_lib.in line 233:
if (echo "$version_test_numeric_a" ; echo "$version_test_numeric_b") |
version_sort | head -n 1 | grep -qx "$version_test_numeric_b" ; then
It should be
....... | grep -qx "$version_test_numeric_a" ; then
After that fix the ordering is correct in my case.
