~ (tilde) with it's magic negative sort order, does work however:

    0~20130215

0~something is pretty magic and sometimes confuses tools, though, since it's a positive version number that's less than zero.

Define "positive version number".

We have hundreds of packages with such versions in the archive, and I haven't seen it exploding because of it. (Although personally I use "0+" prefix in similar cases.)
