Quick and dirty fix for #211.
I cannot exactly reproduce this issue on my system, but if I did understand it correctly the issue
The issue with the generations list not being in proper order likely stems from the fact that we extract the generation numbers as strings
describe
andfrom_dir
.This tries to address the issue by comparing those lexicographically (did I spell that right?) rather than numerically while listing.
Also ended up adding some extra comments to my code.
