[jira] [Updated] (MNGSITE-441) Define ordering of tokens
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-441?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MNGSITE-441:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Define ordering of tokens (was: Definre ordering of tokens)
> Define ordering of tokens
> -------------------------
>
> Key: MNGSITE-441
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-441
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> On [https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Version_Order_Specification] we use the terms " {{lexicographical order}}" and "alphabetical order". Neither is defined, and they need to be.
>
> For example does "PPP" sort before, after, or the same as "ppp"? I don't know.
>
> Lexicogrpahic order also has more than one reasonable definition: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order]
>
> Perhaps we can simply rewrite the version order section to not use these terms as long as we're clear about what does happen.
