Bug Description

UKUU displays a notification for an older kernel version because of the way it orders numbers.

I currently have kernel 4.8.10 installed by UKUU and currently running. It just popped up saying that kernel 4.8.9 is now available.

It is assuming that version order goes like so:
4.8.10
4.8.9
...
instead of the proper order of
4.8.9
4.8.10

Screenshot attached.

I have this issue as well, installed 4.8.12 yet it keeps telling me an update of 4.8.9 is available. My assumption is that it's doing a compare on each number and that 1 < 9 is causing this issue.
