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.

release_1.1.bin
release_1.10.bin
release_1.2.bin

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 -V now that I've cursed you.

But I'm running out of mental storage space for bash commands. I wish I could clear some space.
