Version Number Sorting | Dataford Interview Questions

Write a script to sort software version numbers from oldest to newest.

Implement def sort_versions(versions):. Each version is a nonempty string of nonnegative integer components separated by periods, such as "2.10.3". Compare components numerically, not lexicographically. Leading zeros do not affect a component, and missing trailing components are treated as zero, so "1.2" equals "1.2.0". Return a new list containing the original strings in ascending version order. Preserve input order when versions are equivalent.

Constraints

0 <= versions.length <= 1000
Each version contains at least one component
Each component contains only decimal digits
Each version contains at most 100 components
Component values are nonnegative integers
Equivalent versions must preserve their input order

Function Signature
