Hi Roland, The specification says that "The version number is expressed as a sequence of decimal numbers, each separated by a period (.). ‘d+’ represents a sequence of one or more decimal digits." In other words it's not a lexicographical comparison and the total order is defined. 0.000 is earlier than 0.01 because before the dot 0 equals 0 and after the dot 0 is less than 1. 2.0 is after 1.0 because 2 is greater than 1 and 3.0 is after 2.0 since 3 is greater than 2.
