The problem with that is that it’s a lexical sort so if say 5.8, 5.9. and 5.10 directories exist then the sort order is

LOL, back in my working days, one of those really had the programmers 
stumped. And I only immediately saw WHAT went wrong because  intimately 
familiar with what sequence of machine code instructions to expect from 
a COBOL statement. Saw "hey, using a logical compare -- now why did the 
compiler do THAT?" (arithmetic compare intended). From there not all 
that long to find the field redefinition and have the programmer switch 
to the numeric field name vs the alphameric  field name.
