Currently we are using a custom script to iterate through the release files and update position numbers so the releases display in order in the sidebar. This adds complexity and an extra step to the process. It also complicates any future effort to automate the process of adding releases to the docs.
This changes release sidebar position numbers so the oldest release has a much larger number -- instead of using 1 for the most recent release. I went with 10000. Floats are supported, however, so in the unlikely event we "run out" of integers, we can start using them.
