Numbering conventions

Yes, the version numbering reads from left-to-right
2.4.20.99 is before 2.4.21.1
'legacy' indicates it is from the fedora-legacy project; progeny is unknown
to me except an ISP brand name.
athlon. vs i386 vs <none> indicates whether the rpm is built on/for a particular
architecture. .i386 runs anywhere (tm) but .athlon is not guaranteed on i686 or
x64 architecture.

I am getting a little confused about the numbering conventions.
For example, how does (if it does)
kernel-2.4.20-31.9.progeny.7.athlon.rpm
compare with
kernel-2.4.20-42.9.legacy.athlon.rpm?
Can I assume that the legacy version is a more current version than the progeny?
Thanks.
