Please help me to sort this kinda lists

Question

first of all, im still kinda new to coding and have not that much knowledge ^^ So here is my problem, I need to create a class/method that can sort a list, that look like this:

.Add("1");
.Add("1.1");
.Add("1.2");
.Add("1.1.1-1");
.Add("1.1.1-1usa");
.Add("7.2");
.Add("8.");
.Add("9.");
.Add("10.1)

the list should be ascend(?) meaning, it starts with the lowest number going up to the highest.

I tried to make char arrays out of them and then compare each char with an if-statement. some mor informations: 1.1.1 > 1.1 and as you can see, there are also letters inside. If someone has an idea I would be very thankful for every tip :)

NOTE: if I would sort it like list.Sort();, 10.1 wouldnt come right after 9, instead its bewtween 1.1 and 2.1 for example

Answer 1

I have used basic alphabetic sorting and this is the result:

1
1.1
1.1.1-1
1.1.1-1usa
1.2
7.2
8.
9.

As you can see:

1 < 1.1 < 1.1.1-1* < 1.2 < 7.2 < 8. < 9. 

       // 1.1.1-1* means: 
       // anything, starting with 1.1.1-1

I believe we can agree on that. As far as the letters are concerned:

1.1.1-1 < 1.1.1-1usa

Also this seems logical, because nothing comes before something.

So it looks like basic alphabetic sorting does the trick, or do you disagree?

Answer 2

Again a big thanks to everyone. This is the solution i decided to take advantage of:

Numbers= Numbers.OrderBy(v => string.Concat(v.Split('.').Select(x => x.PadLeft(5, '0')))).ToList();
