Build versions

Our company has been using one digit major releases and one digit minor releases and 4 digit build numbers....example:

2.1.0101, 2.2.0101, .....2.9.0101

And now our product management department wants the next minor version to be:

2.10.0101

Will there be any problems with this? Will IS recogize the 10 being greater than 9 if it were treated numerically or does it look at 10 as alpha numeric and it would treat 2.10 the same as 2.1?

Would it be better to just use 3.0 instead?

Assuming you're talking about an MSI project, a quick test shows setup.exe correctly detecting 2.9.0101 is earlier than 2.10.0101 for a minor upgrade, applying the upgrade from 2.9 to 2.10 and refusing to install 2.9 over 2.10...
