Package Version is not sorted correctly for versions of type vXX.X

[Timber1900]

Brief description of your issue

Packages whose version are written like vXX.x (eg. v10.1) aren't sorted correctly

Steps to reproduce

Look at the Timber1900.WebDL package, the latest version is v10.2, however the version that shows up in winget is the earliest v9.2

Expected behavior

Winget displaying the latest version as v10.2

Actual behavior

Winget displays the latest version as v9.2

Environment

Windows Package Manager v1.0.11591
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.22000.71
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.11.11591.0

I think this is issue that manifest did not updated. As winget does not access github directly. You should open ticket in winget-pkgs

[Timber1900]

What do you mean by manifest did not updated.
All manifests are in the master branch of winget-pkgs, and installing with the -v v10.2 option installs the correct version, which makes me believe the problem is with the cli itself

• Also running winget show Timber100.WebDL --versions show all the versions in the incorrect ordering

Interestingly the .X part is sorted correctly, the only wrong part being v9 vs v10

Interestingly the .X part is sorted correctly, the only wrong part being v9 vs v10

It is sorting as alpha not numerical; zz9something is "greater" than zz1something. Same for v9 vs v1 (~v10).

But I think this is clear to the devs.

I believe the sorting for Timber1900.WebDL has been worked out. We've got an open PR looking at better behavior for software versions with preambles, but this Issue looks safe to close.
