FWIW, zero-padded versions will always sort correctly as ASCII strings, whereas structured versions will not. For example, sorting as ASCII: 1.2.3.09 1.2.3.10 vs 1.2.3.10 1.2.3.9 John p.s. of course I am sensitive to this subject, since I am the author of the version object module in Perl, which will sort _unpadded_ version strings correctly (and will be in the core for Perl v5.10.0 as well as available as a CPAN module for compatibility with earlier versions of Perl).
