If the floppy kernel module file is missing you get output similar to:
# modprobe floppy
modprobe: FATAL: Module floppy not found in directory

Summary: weak-modules:Changing the sorting mode of rpmsort
Product: Fedora

Created attachment 1842464
--> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1842464&action=edit
Possible patch
Description of problem:
When the kernel version number contains a mixture of letters and numbers, the
original sorting method has a problem. For example:
[root@localhost kmod]# cat test
4.19.90-vhulk2108.6.0.h803
4.19.90-2109.1.0.0108
4.19.90-vhulk2109.1.0.h813
[root@localhost kmod]# ./test.sh
+ cat test
+ sed -e s/-/../g
+ sort -n -t. -k1,1 -k2,2 -k3,3 -k4,4 -k5,5 -k6,6 -k7,7 -k8,8 -k9,9 -k10,10
+ sed -e's/\.\./-/g'
4.19.90-vhulk2109.1.0.h813
4.19.90-vhulk2108.6.0.h803
4.19.90-2109.1.0.0108
Even if this sort isn't helpful, maybe sort with "sort -V", instead of using
"-" replace with ".." would make the code more readable?

--- Comment #9 from Ben Cotton <bcotton(a)redhat.com> ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on
2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
'version' of '36'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version'
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
