| It can assume one of the following values:</p> |
| <dl class="simple"> |
| <dt><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NONE</span></code></dt><dd><p>Default. No attempt is done to sort packages. |

| <p>Natural sorting can be employed to return the highest version when multiple |

| <li><p>libX-1.2.9</p></li> |
| <li><p>libX-1.2.10</p></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>By setting <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NATURAL</span></code> order we can select the one with the highest |
| version number <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libX-1.2.10</span></code>.</p> |
| <div class="highlight-cmake notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">set(</span><span class="no">CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">NATURAL</span><span class="nf">)</span><span class="w"></span> |

| <p>The sort direction can be controlled using the |
