By reading some of the gems around here, apparently not. Example:

I need a new rage face for expressing this.

I'm sorry I made you angry. But leaving out versioning schemes in which 0.1 and 0.10 are in fact considered the same, and leaving out letters and stuff (which are trivially encoded in scheme you quote anyway), this is what a version number is, in its general sense.

"Rage faces" aren't necessarily composed only of "rage". Explained in the other comment why this actually isn't lexicographic sorting.
