You mean, like, emacs!latest? That will sort before emacs-*. Another alternative is to double the dash: emacs--latest. The second dash will sort before all digits. However bear in mind the following nuisance: unless the server is taught to supply an alternative download name, the user will save it as =E2=80=9Cemacs--latest-.zip=E2=80=9D and will not be easily able t= o tell which version that is. More practically, the main page should probably link to the most relevant download(s) of the latest version. That way, only those who really need something special will have to look at the listing of all versions, all flavors.
