Well, the `sort -V` funktionality test actually tests for `sort -v`
.

Observed with grub-2.00_beta2 on Gentoo/Linux

I've some kernel/initrd files of versions
3.2.9-gentoo-x.1 and 3.2.11-gentoo-x.0 and .1

The 10_linux default (claimed latest kernel) found by version_find_latest is the 3.2.9-gentoo-x.1 instead of the 3.2.11-gentoo-x.1

Test:
`version_find_latest /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.11-gentoo-x.0 /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.11-gentoo-x.1 /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.9-gentoo-x.0 /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.9-gentoo-x.1 /boot/vmlinuz.old`

Result /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.9-gentoo-x.1
Expected /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.11-gentoo-x.1

I've looked into /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib but the patch isn't obvious.

Cheers.
