I made a patch that I think will sort the kernels correctly.
When comparing the kernel version if the kernel looks like
vmlinuz-2.6.14-pre2 it will change it to vmlinuz-2.6.14.0-pre2
thereby ensuring that 2.6.14.2 is treated as newer since 2>0 and
therefore it is placed higher in the menu than 2.6.14
This patch will close #264312 and #342221
