- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

Nah. It's not meant to be decimal points. It's separation between numbers
%YYYY.MM format is a separation between numbers. But still increments in a numerically ordered way. I'm not saying I don't understand version numbers. I'm saying padding zeros makes it easier to read.
It doesn't really matter with a release cycle that has less than 10 version increments. Which is fine if you're only ever gonna hit 13.9 in very rare cases.
But if you constantly have x.yy version numbers. You should probably start with some zero padding. All I'm saying.
Is ugly and annoys me.
But they're integers not strings, so are sorted differently...
I'm sorry if your head treats them as strings but that's like, a you problem, man...
Welcome to the thread. It's something that annoys me in which I asked if it annoyed anyone else. I'm not sure why you're trying to explain away my annoyance with information I already know.
Also, filenames are quite literally strings. That's how the image binaries will be sorted. As filenames.
And yes I'm aware of
sort -V. I can still have an OCD annoyance with it. I swear to God if someone replies again telling me why I shouldn't be annoyed.At this point I'm more annoyed with replies than I was version numbers.
Yeah, you're right - I was thinking of them in isolation like a silly billy
All good. I'm in a piss poor mood too and just rambling.
Its like that thing though, where you introduce someone to a new pet peeve they've never noticed - so thanks, I guess...
ls | sort -Vnow that I've cursed you.But I'm running out of mental storage space for bash commands. I wish I could clear some space.
for f in $(find /); do mv $f $(echo $f | sed 's/.([0-9])./.0\1./'; done
ftfy
edit: dont actually run that
Too late. My problem is fixed. But now grub won't load.
Dolphin sorts them as you want, don't all file managers?
