Thanks for reporting.
I think we should improve how we choose the version to install.
We could start by searching for the highest version respecting semver. If it exists we install it, if not we fallback to the last version returned by list-all.
If somebody would like to help on this one it would be great!

The documentation for creating plugins says plugin-test installs the last listed version. In my case the versions are actually dates, and it picks the first listed version instead.

I have same issue.

Just for reference, now that #575 has been merged maybe the plugin-test command could make use of it to use the latest version.
