CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDERΒΆ
New in version 3.7.
The default order for sorting packages found using find_package().
It can assume one of the following values:
- NONE
- Default. No attempt is done to sort packages. The first valid package found will be selected. 
- NAME
- Sort packages lexicographically before selecting one. 
- NATURAL
- Sort packages using natural order (see - strverscmp(3)manual), i.e. such that contiguous digits are compared as whole numbers.
Natural sorting can be employed to return the highest version when multiple
versions of the same library are found by find_package().  For
example suppose that the following libraries have been found:
- libX-1.1.0 
- libX-1.2.9 
- libX-1.2.10 
By setting NATURAL order we can select the one with the highest
version number libX-1.2.10.
set(CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER NATURAL)
find_package(libX CONFIG)
The sort direction can be controlled using the
CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_DIRECTION variable
(by default decrescent, e.g. lib-B will be tested before lib-A).
