      %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.

      13.1
      13.11
      13.12
      13.13
      13.2
      13.3
      

      Is ugly and annoys me.

        Have you seen formats that use unpadded seconds, minutes and hours? 11:4:7 is just beautiful time formatting 🥹 /s

        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.

            for f in $(find /); do mv $f $(echo $f | sed ‘s/.([0-9])./.0\1./’; done

            ftfy

                  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.
