convert them all to decimal.
\n" ); document.write( "2.05 = ok as is
\n" ); document.write( "25/10 = 2.5
\n" ); document.write( "2.0513 = ok as is.
\n" ); document.write( "2.059 = ok as is
\n" ); document.write( "251/100 = 2.51
\n" ); document.write( "2.0515 = ok as is
\n" ); document.write( "2.052 = ok as is
\n" ); document.write( "2.051 = ok as is.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "your numbers are:
\n" ); document.write( "2.05
\n" ); document.write( "2.5
\n" ); document.write( "2.0513
\n" ); document.write( "2.059
\n" ); document.write( "2.51
\n" ); document.write( "2.0515
\n" ); document.write( "2.052
\n" ); document.write( "2.051
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "your final order will be:
\n" ); document.write( "2.05
\n" ); document.write( "2.051
\n" ); document.write( "2.0513
\n" ); document.write( "2.0515
\n" ); document.write( "2.052
\n" ); document.write( "2.059
\n" ); document.write( "2.5
\n" ); document.write( "2.51
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "look at this order and see what's happening.
\n" ); document.write( "2.05 is smaller than 2.051
\n" ); document.write( "this is because 2.05 is equivalent to 2.050 which is smaller than 2.051
\n" ); document.write( "2.5 is smaller than 2.51
\n" ); document.write( "this is because 2.5 is equivalent to 2.50 which is smaller than 2.51
\n" ); document.write( "-----\r
