Description

We created yesterday a new version 10.0.0 on Jira but the merge script started suggesting the wrong version:

Enter comma-separated fix version(s) [10.0.0]:   

The version has been temporarily removed from Jira to avoid mistakes.

The problem is on the sorting we do on the merge_script when selecting the version:

unreleased_versions = sorted(unreleased_versions,
                                     key=lambda x: x.name, reverse=True) 

Once the fix is in place we can create the Version 10.0.0 again on JIRA
