CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER ----------------------------- .. versionadded:: 3.7 The default order for sorting packages found using :command:`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 :command:`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``. .. code-block:: cmake set(CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER NATURAL) find_package(libX CONFIG) The sort direction can be controlled using the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_DIRECTION` variable (by default decrescent, e.g. lib-B will be tested before lib-A).
