Sort product version

How can I get the product versions I enter in project settings to be sorted? They now just appear in the order I enter them in.

@psv: I looked for a solution to the same question like you did. - But now I found a rather simple one:

Review your Mantis database in MySQL and take a look at the table 'mantis_project_version_table'. You will see your version entries there. There are used sorted by DATE in the 'Change Log' pages as well as in the issue page's popup menues.

Maybe you can simply change the date entries like I did now. It works fine.

Typically versions should be sorted chronologically DESC order. This is achieved through the version release date. In some cases sorting by the version name will achieve the same thing, but there may be cases where version names do not follow a format that is sorting friendly.

You can edit the versions through the GUI and change the date times to put them in the right order.
