I have a list containing version strings, such as things:
versions_list = ["1.1.2", "1.0.0", "1.3.3", "1.0.12", "1.0.2"]
I would like to sort it, so the result would be something like this:
versions_list = ["1.0.0", "1.0.2", "1.0.12", "1.1.2", "1.3.3"]
The order of precendece for the digits should obviously be from left to right, and it should be decending. So 1.2.3 comes before 2.2.3 and 2.2.2 comes before 2.2.3.
How do I do this in Python?
