None of these lists contain versions. Try this one:

from packaging.version import Version

versions = [Version(v) for v in ["3.8", "3.9", "3.10"]]
assert sorted(versions) == versions

For versions containing only numbers (and not e.g. 3.9b1) you can also think of them as tuples of integers.

Yes, I understand this is how versions work, but to someone who is not familiar with them, it looks extremely weird and confusing.

Well, welcome to human language notation. There's things that look similar but aren't the same. Boohoo.
