This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/version-algorithm defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinitionCopy
semver SemVer

Uses the semantic versioning scheme as defined in semver.org icon.

 btn btn
integer Integer

Versions are integers and ordered numerically

 btn btn
alpha Alphabetical

Simple alphabetic sort on a case-insensitive and accent-insensitive basis. (Sorting of different cases or accented versions of a character is indeterminate)

 btn btn
date Date

Versions are expressed as an ISO date/time syntax (including syntaxes with only portions of a date)

 btn btn
natural Natural

Sorted according to the algorithm defined here: naturalordersort.org icon

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. See Code System for further information.
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
