Question

In PowerShell if i have a list of strings containing versions "3.0.1.1","3.2.1.1" etc how can I Sort it the way System.Version would sort it in c#

Answer 1

PS C:\> $ver="3.0.1.1","3.2.1.1"
PS C:\> $ver|%{[System.Version]$_}|sort

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
3      0      1      1
3      2      1      1

Answer 2

Why not just convert it to a Version and sort that way?

$list = "3.0.1.1","3.2.1.1" 
$sorted = $list | %{ new-object System.Version ($_) } | sort
