I suggest you only do the obvious ordering, and do nothing if the
situation becomes tricky.
i.e., part1, part2, ..., part10. but do not try too hard to figure out
the ordering of part1x and part_2aaa.
Also, I think there're some conventions regarding software version
numbers, e.g., py3alpha, py3beta, py3rc, etc., you might want to take
that into consideration as well.
