I'm confused here, pkg_check-version(1) does sort the names as can be
seen in the line above...

but then says it can't compare (and thus not sort) them?
Same if I replace the "a11" suffix with something packages-specs(7)
shows as legit suffix:
$ pkg_check-version xsd-4.1.0alpha12 xsd-4.1.0 xsd-4.1.0alpha11
xsd-*- sorted: xsd-4.1.0alpha11 xsd-4.1.0alpha12 xsd-4.1.0
WARNING: xsd-4.1.0alpha11 and xsd-4.1.0alpha12 are actually not
comparable
WARNING: xsd-4.1.0alpha11 and xsd-4.1.0 are actually not comparable
No matter in which order I pass the three pkgnames, this tool sorts them
the same way...
