   Personally, I'd tend to do what the user requested.  Think about it.

   If that's what the user requested.

   And _not_ sort them as the user requested?

   Define "current version".  And _not_ show all the files requested by
the user?

   If the user wants only the highest version (which might not be the
latest), then there's a syntax for that: ";0" (or ";").  So far as I
know, there's no way to specify "latest".
