* From: "Akinori -Aki- MUSHA" <knu@idaemons.org> * My top priority was to achieve this issue, that is, to put pre-release * versions before release versions. And it's very easy to add support * for gamma, delta, and epsilon, as follows: No, that is the wrong way to go. What the handbook is trying to say is that when there is an alphabet right after a ".", it sorts before numbers. "a" for alpha etc. are just examples. Don't hardcode any values here please -- any alphabet that comes after a "." should be treated the same way.
