> 2.9 is an earlier (not less than) version than 2.10.

Not necessarily. Some projects go from 2.9 to 3. I'm not sure what you are trying to prove.

[solarengineer → rat9988]

For software version numbering, I consider 2.9 to have been released "earlier than" 3 (and not lesser than 3).

[Spivak → solarengineer]

How do you deal with a project like Ansible where 2.9.16 was released after 2.10.0 or Python 2.7.18 was after 3.0.4?

I think version numbers are a partial ordering at best.

They aren't numbers, easy.

[rat9988 → Jenk]

Why?
