%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.
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.
What’s worse is making a bunch of bash aliases that are easier to remember and then you hit an environment you can’t use your bashrc in for whatever reason. Then you have no idea how to actually do anything.
I try to only use aliases for things that I repeat often but are only going to be used in my specific environment.
Unless you mean
aliasls="ls | sort -V"
Which would be really awful to do for obvious reasons.

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
Dolphin sorts them as you want, don’t all file managers?
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…

for f in $(find /); do mv $f $(echo $f | sed ‘s/.([0-9])./.0\1./’; done
ftfy
edit: dont actually run that
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 -Vnow that I’ve cursed you.But I’m running out of mental storage space for bash commands. I wish I could clear some space.
Make a bash alias once, get the correct behavior forever.
