More info for stating the prob

Thanks for the response. This is the order I want

BalInqMail C9.1.20.2DBSU11
CVGRETesting C9.1.20.2DBSU11
IGOT C9.1.20.2DBSU10
IGOT C9.1.20.2DBSU9
SecScore C9.1.20.2DBSU9
IGOT C9.1.20.2DBSU8
SecScore C9.1.20.2DBSU8

The Scenario is like this . BalInqMail , IGOT ... are file names and belong to patch C9.1.20.2DBSU11, C9.1.20.2DBSU10 ....

Say i am installing multiple patches for an application and Say IGOT is in patch 11 and also patch 8 I want to skip patch 8 file and install only patch 11 file. I have all the program ready. My only problem is that in sorting it is comparing only only 1st num and sorting so 2 is bigger than 11 which is not what i want.

Thanks once again. Help me out plzz...
