That only works if all the versions are part of the same major release.  21 
is less than 135 too...

In Perl, I would do something like this:

($maj, $min) = split(/\./, $version);
$sortableversion = sprintf("%05d.%05d", $maj, $min);

I think you could do much the same in Gambas but it would take more lines, 
two Format() calls instead of just a sprintf, and you'd be using an array 
rather than two strings.
