Does anybody know which cat came before another though? Numbers are best. Years are fine. Names are... Cute but Impractical.

  Android alphabetical names seem fine.

    TIL that they're alphabetical. I always hated them before just now but I guess that's slightly more tolerable. Really though, please just stick to numbers if you ever have to name a product lineup. It's immediately obvious to anyone that Firefox 77 came after Firefox 76.

      Once you run out of letters, it gets confusing too. Ubuntu's wrapped around I think twice in its history; it goes through code names from A to Z before starting over again. Is Gutsy Gibbon newer or older than Babbling Baboon? At least the $YEAR.$MONTH release numbers make sense, no questions about the relationship 18.04 and 21.10 have.

    Didn't they drop it? Or de-emphasize it? I know current version is android 12 but have no clue of the name. Same for all previous. My old note 8 has android 9. My original htc I think enddd on 1.6 or something. I still have an ancient Asus tablet on android 4. Etc - I never knew or cared, and didn't HAVE to, about the cute name.
