Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
convert them all to decimal.
2.05 = ok as is
25/10 = 2.5
2.0513 = ok as is.
2.059 = ok as is
251/100 = 2.51
2.0515 = ok as is
2.052 = ok as is
2.051 = ok as is.

your numbers are:
2.05
2.5
2.0513
2.059
2.51
2.0515
2.052
2.051
-----
your final order will be:
2.05
2.051
2.0513
2.0515
2.052
2.059
2.5
2.51
-----
look at this order and see what's happening.
2.05 is smaller than 2.051
this is because 2.05 is equivalent to 2.050 which is smaller than 2.051
2.5 is smaller than 2.51
this is because 2.5 is equivalent to 2.50 which is smaller than 2.51
