Subject:

Versions aren't shown in order

http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Scalar-List-Utils.html CPAN Testers does not show the versions for a distribution in order (either by release time or dist version). This makes it extremely difficult in well-tested modules to find the version you are looking for. A sort in there somewhere would be very useful.

Hi Adam, I made the same suggestion to Léon a while back. It turns out that sorting the versions has problems of its own. It used to be there, but was removed later on. Something to do with poorly numbered dists that have really wacky versioning schemes. But yes, it would be nice to have a best-effort sort, for dists with sane versions. IOW, I too would like to see this added. David
