I don't really have an opinion, but for the liveliness of the discussion, I'll propose some alternatives: - Move all but the latest to a subdirectory `old`. - Add a symlink to the latest with a name such that it comes first in the list. Since the sort is "alphabetical" based on ASCII, there aren't many chars that get sorted before "-" so I'm not sure which would be the best choice in this regard. The problem I see with your proposal is that the latest releases as well as the `latest` link will still appear last, Stefan
