Why is version number 0.10.0 considered as older than 0.9.0 in setuptools_scm?

I have a Python package that is going through frequent changes and it brought us to version 0.9.3 currently. My team is not confident to bump it to 1.0.0 yet.

The team agreed to version number 0.10.0 but why setuptools_scm seems to consider 0.10.0 to be earlier than 0.9.3?

I tried tagging with git tag and check the list:

$ git tag 0.10.0

$ git tag --list
0.10.0
0.2.0
0.2.1
0.2.2
0.3.0
0.5.0
0.7.0
0.7.1
0.8.0
0.8.1
0.9.0
0.9.1
0.9.2
0.9.3

Was expecting 0.10.0 to be listed after 0.9.3.

For ascending order:

git tag --sort=version:refname

Probably because sorting a list of strings like this:

print(sorted(['0.9.0', '0.10.0']))

will return this:

['0.10.0', '0.9.0']

since 1<9 (its not 10 as a number)
