# SemVer sort

`semver-sort` · version 1.0.0 · Versions & config · free, no key needed

Sort strict valid Semantic Versions in ascending precedence order.

**Use when you need to: semver sort · semver sort ascending · sort semantic versions.**

## Supported

- semver sort
- semver sort ascending
- sort semantic versions
- order versions by semver precedence

## Not supported

- semver sort descending
- loose versions
- version ranges
- npm package lookup

## Behavior

- Every item must be a strict valid Semantic Version.
- Versions are sorted by SemVer precedence in ascending order.
- Build metadata does not affect precedence; equal-precedence inputs retain their original order.
- Version strings are returned exactly as supplied.

## Input

- `versions` (array of string, required): max items 5000; each min length 1; each max length 256

## Output

- array of string: max items 5000

## Limits

- max versions: 5000
- max version length: 256

## Example

Request input:

```json
{
  "versions": [
    "1.0.0",
    "1.0.0-alpha",
    "2.0.0"
  ]
}
```

Response:

```json
{
  "result": [
    "1.0.0-alpha",
    "1.0.0",
    "2.0.0"
  ]
}
```

## How to call it

### MCP

Connect `https://computefirst.net/mcp` ([setup](/docs#connect)), then call `execute` with:

```json
{
  "id": "semver-sort",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "input": {
    "versions": [
      "1.0.0",
      "1.0.0-alpha",
      "2.0.0"
    ]
  }
}
```

### HTTP (no key)

```sh
curl -X POST https://computefirst.net/v1/tools/semver-sort/versions/1.0.0/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"versions":["1.0.0","1.0.0-alpha","2.0.0"]}'
```

The machine-readable contract is at [/v1/tools/semver-sort/versions/1.0.0](/v1/tools/semver-sort/versions/1.0.0).

### CLI

```sh
node cli.mjs run semver-sort 1.0.0 --input input.json --base-url https://computefirst.net
```
