    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-441?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17927496#comment-17927496 ] 

Matthias Bünger commented on MNGSITE-441:
-----------------------------------------

[~elharo] You did an update on the page with (https://github.com/apache/maven-site/pull/661/files), but still kept the term of "lexicographic order". Did you change solved this issue indirectly or do you still think we should update the page?

> 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.
> Lexicographic 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.
