A possible solution would be to have a json/xml file with all the minecraft versions (in order) the launcher is compatible with, and have it get the order from there.

we are not hardcoding that stuff there are other minor MC versions all over 3rd party packs

Shame, I think Mojang hosts a json file with all MC versions (in order) for their launcher.

Or make generic Version class which implements Comparable or Comparator and use it as base class for java versions, pack versions and mc versions.

I have some kind of code and tests, but it still need work before I will push it.

Edit. By generic I mean unlimited separator count per version string, multiple separator(.-_), maybe even configurable separator.

Look what I just found! http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/versions.json

i am well aware of those files however... that is not the solution to this problem it adds additional file IO for no reason when we can just use comparable/comparators on version #'s

[jamierocks]

version #?

And using external files does not solve sorting other things...
