yes... it is very well understood to be very bad for this problem:
>> "a2" <=> "a11"
=> 1
>> 2 <=> 11
=> -1
So use a.1 and a.11 instead of a1 and a11
def test_order
numbers = %w[ 1.0.a 1.0.a.1 1.0.a.2 1.0.a.11 1.0.b.1 1 1.0.1 1.2 ]
versions = numbers.collect { |n| Gem::Version.new(n) }
assert_equal numbers, versions.sort.collect { |v| v.parts.join(".") }
end
I can't say I like where this is going.
In my opinion this is going to lead to unforeseen issues. I don't know what
those issues are exactly, I just have a very bad feeling about it.
I recommend holding off on this for now.
