Version numbers are not numbers. How would you explain, for example, Chrome's version 24.0.1312.57? Dots separate logical numberings, like version, patch, bugfix, etc. So 3.0 goes after 2.0 And 2.0.2 after 2.0.1. And 1.10 after 1.9.

´n.n.n.n´ where the dot does not represent decimal notation but a less significant variation (of the software) than the previous number. This is universally true for the first two numbers but not always for the rest.
