It had to do with the comparison of numbers and letters when sorting versions. To understand the issue see the -n option to sort (but it looks as if it is more involved than just the problem -n solves for sort).

This is an OLD bug that smells the same. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104981 -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage. mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
