A comment on What’s new in Node v0.10?. Parent comment
the version number is a tuple, not a decimal, encoded with dots as field separators.
0.10 is an encoding for (0, 10). So 0.10 > 0.9, and 3.7.4a makes perfect sense.
edit: furthermore version number ordering has additional complexity: 3.7.4a < 3.7.4
