Where have you ever come across "SM 2.80"? Have you been using Dr.
Emmett Brown's specially configured DeLorean?
since when is 2.24 greater that 2.8? (evening up the digits is an
engineering thing)
Well, now, I didn't ask about "2.8," now did I? I asked about "2.80."
And SM 2.80 is years in the future, and might not ever happen if
we go
to version 3.
In the SeaMonkey world, where the dot is not a decimal point, "24"
has
always been greater than "8."
But "8." is greater than "24" :-)
In what universe?
In any alphanumeric sort.
Well, if you choose to alphabetize numbers, I guess you will get weird
results. Can't think why you'd want to, though.
I did not choose the way of the sort work. With "2.14.1" you CANNOT tell
the sort that this STRING is a numeric one.
you can tell sort it's a version number: --version-sort or -V
$ cat sort-test
echo -e "2.19 \n2.8 \n2.24 \n2.9 \n2.10 \n2.3 \n2.8.1 \n2.9.1 " |\
sort -k 1,1V
$ sh sort-test
2.3
2.8
2.8.1
2.9
2.9.1
2.10
2.19
2.24
-V also does the right thing with ip addresses :)
$ echo -e "10.10.10.10 \n10.9.200.9 " | sort -V -k 1
10.9.200.9
10.10.10.10

I speak about sorting without being a geek .. SIMPLY using the click on
the title of the row containing versions strings in excel ....
