NPM version 2.0.0-sashko.0 gets prioritized over all RC versions

[Tehnix]

NPM doesn't handle -beta, -rc or similar in any special way, meaning that because s comes after r in the alphabet, 2.0.0-sashko.0 is interpreted as a newer version than 2.0.0-rc.7, which is the latest version.

The list here https://www.npmjs.com/package/apollo-server-lambda lists the versions by date, but in NPM/Yarn it will fetch it by version number.

So, if you have a version pinning of ^2.0.0-rc.7 you will currently get 2.0.0-sashko.0 instead of the RCs.

Running yarn upgrade apollo-server@bla (to force the list of versions) will get you the following list,

❯ 2.0.0-sashko.0
  2.0.0-rc.7
  2.0.0-rc.6
  2.0.0-rc.5
  2.0.0-rc.4
  2.0.0-rc.3
  2.0.0-rc.2.1
  2.0.0-rc.2
  2.0.0-rc.1
  2.0.0-beta.9
  2.0.0-beta.8

Solution: You should probably delete 2.0.0-sashko.0 to avoid others getting their builds broken.

@Tehnix Ah that's an unexpected behavior for sure. Thank you for pointing it out! We'll be sure to make the next release work alphabetically
