Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNGSITE-441:
-----------------------------------------------
Semver 1.0 specifies "lexicographic ASCII sort order" which is *not* what we
are doing: "Precedence SHOULD be determined by lexicographic ASCII sort order.
For instance: 1.0.0-alpha1 < 1.0.0-beta1 < 1.0.0-beta2 < 1.0.0-rc1 < 1.0.0"
> Better define ordering of tokens in version comparison

> Key: MNGSITE-441
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-441
> Project: Maven Project Web Site (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> On [https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Version_Order_Specification] we use the
> terms " {{lexicographical order}}" and "alphabetical order". Neither is
> defined, and they need to be.
> For example does "PPP" sort before, after, or the same as "ppp"? I don't know.
> Lexicographic order also has more than one reasonable definition:
> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order]
> Perhaps we can simply rewrite the version order section to not use these
> terms as long as we're clear about what does happen.
