Your suggestion is very vague, and actually not even one full sentence.
If it's about 'sort' from GNU coreutils, then I can say it already supports 
both sorting by version and case-insensitive:

  $ sort --help  | grep -E 'ignore-case|version-sort'
  -f, --ignore-case           fold lower case to upper case characters
  -V, --version-sort          natural sort of (version) numbers within text

and even the combination of both at the same time:

  $ printf '%s\n' 1.0a 1.0B 1.0c | sort -Vf
  1.0a
  1.0B
  1.0c

It's about the typical questions:
- What do you want to achieve?
- How do you attempt to achieve it? Reproducer: command line, input, ...
- What was the expected outcome?
- What was the actual outcome?
- What is the suggested change?

Have a nice day,
