I find my version a bit more obvious, for two reasons:
1. "version" here is not a modifier of the field name, it is a
modifier of the sort. You cannot use it in non-sort contexts (like
--format), and you cannot order it like other modifiers (you cannot
say "refname:version:short", only "refname:short:version").
2. There are actually two sort-modifiers: "-" for ordering, and then a
comparator. In your proposal, they are split, whereas in mine, they
are next to each other.
