RPM version comparison algorithm

Hi,

For some reason I thought the rpm version/release comparison was done
by comparing the dotted components, but this does not seem to be
the case.  For example:

  pkg-1.0-3 < pkg-1.0-3A

but

  pkg-1.0-3.B > pkg-1.0-3A.B

To me, this looks strange.  What is the explanation for this?

Thanks,
