Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MNGSITE-441:
------------------------------------------
Description:
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.
