What about a doap:latestVersion property that points to the latest in 
the same way that many software distros keep a latest pointer to the 
latest release?

This sidesteps problems with projects altering their version numbering 
and with project that use dotted triplets or quada (e.g. v 1.9.3 is an 
earlier release than v 1.15.1 but a sort wouldn't pick that out)
