Displaying shield badge for a pre-release nuget package with version <= latest stable version

[abhipsaMisra]

For the following scenario:

• latest stable - 1.25.0
• latest pre-release - 1.25.0-preview-001

Since, based on semver, 1.25.0 > 1.25.0-preview-001, this results in both of the below resolving to 1.25.0:
[iothub-device-release]: https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client.svg?style=plastic
[iothub-device-prerelease]: https://img.shields.io/nuget/vpre/Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client.svg?style=plastic

Since I want [iothub-device-prerelease] to resolve to 1.25.0-preview-001 instead, is there a way to achieve this?

Nuget always sorts versions by semver.
/vpre would only give you a different result if there's a more recent pre-release.

So for example if your package had 1.25.0 and 1.26.0-preview-001 then

• /v would show 1.25.0 (latest stable version) and
• /vpre would give you 1.26.0-preview-001 (latest version including pre-releases)
