Hi, The sort order for the modules doesn’t seem to be working correctly when alpha-numeric version tags are applied.
For example, ‘River of Death: Battle of Chickamauga’ has module V2.1 (tagged as 2.1.0) as the current module when this is post dated by several other modules, the latest being V2.1d (tagged as 2.1.0-d). Note the Vassal compatibility versions. I’m not sure how V2.1 module got date stamped as 3 months ago as the old database entry is dated 2023.
I note this same behavior across several other projects including Pendragon and The Three Days of Gettysburg (third edition).
I’m not sure how you would like to handle this but I wouldn’t object if V2.1d was tagged as 2.1.4 though this may cause confusion with users regarding the filename.
By the way, is it too late to tidy up (a couple of) comments in old entries so they translate better to the new format?
I’m not sure if you are up to this part of the conversion process yet but has there been any new format modules done with seperate author projects?
For example Panzergruppe Guderian has a couple modules by different authors (Richz99 and Vorchek) which are completely independent implementations of the same game and not really related 'older Releases".

I’m more than happy to recheck whatever & whenever necessary but this sounds like a monumental task, is there no way any of us can help you with the corrections?
No way I can see at this point, no. Every way I’ve thought of that would make me not the bottleneck would involve more development work than just finishing the job.
I downloaded the River of Death V2.1 module from the new site and can confirm the 1.2.0 tag is accurate and it actually is the earlier file pre-dating the V2.1d additions.
Sorry if I am adding another item to your list of complications.
I was looking closely at several enties I am familiar with but I’ll get back in my box now so I am not distracting you further.
