Sorting PowerShell versions

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

Just to add another corner case: powershell treats this single digit kind of version '2' as invalid. Have to add '.0' to the end to create the version object before sorting:

if($version  -match '^\d$')
{
  $version = $version + '.0'
}
New-Object System.Version $version
