The fact that 9 is less than 12 is not confusing to me, but sorting by Windows 
File Explorer routinely puts 12 before 9, whereas 09 is always correctly 
arranged before 12 (and before 900).
From the link, https://semver.org/ provided by LI Daobing, I now understand 
that there is a conventional way of numbering software releases, but I remain 
puzzled by the insistence that leading zeros must not be used.
It is often the case that the status quo can be seen to work, but it is my 
opinion that, if an improvement can be made and the effort to do so is minimal, 
it is normally worth making that improvement. I assume that's what drives the 
developers to make evolutionary changes and introduce updates. I'd just like to 
see a numbering system that works in all circumstances.

For each set of numbers, they run sequentially, without leading zeros.

9 is less than 12. How is that confusing?

It isn't '90' and '12'
It is '9' and '12'.
