Rocket science, brain surgery, whatever. But it's a pain in the butt.
Warm regards.

Simply count the number of numbers after the last period. It's not rocket
science.

Hi, Allan.
This thread is undeniably JAWS-related, but we will test the patience of
other listers and the moderator if we keep it up. But to answer your
challenge to Mark, here's why he has a point, so to speak. Just take the
first digit after the decimal point. For the current update, it's 2, while
for the previous it's 5. I think you'll agree, .5 , or one-half, is greater
than .2, or one-fifth, and yet the lower number designates the more recent
update. At best, a paradox.

hi, you are absolutely wrong! read this numbering carefully,
the previously release is J9.0.552 which is 552 and the currently release is
J9.0.2152 which is 2152. so how you tell a number 2 is before 5? and how you
calculate 552 after 2152?

Is it just me and all the people I have talked to. numerically speaking jaws
9.00.522 should be the latest update NOT 9.00.2152
This is not the way versions numbers should be labeled .2 comes before .5.
Has anyone else thought this strange?
