just remove the . in .pre3. from pkg_info(8):
PACKAGE WILDCARDS

The collating sequence of the various package version numbers is unusual,
but strives to be consistent. The magic string ``alpha'' equates to
alpha version and sorts before a beta version. The magic string ``beta''
equates to beta version and sorts before a release candidate. The magic
string ``rc'' equates to release candidate and sorts before a release.
The magic string ``pre'', short for ``pre-release'', is a synonym for
``rc''. For example, name-1.3rc3 will sort before name-1.3 and after
name-1.2.9. Similarly name-1.3alpha2 will sort before name-1.3beta1 and
they both sort before name-1.3rc1. In addition, alphabetic characters
sort in the same place as their numeric counterparts, so that name-1.2e
has the same sorting value as name-1.2.5 The magic string ``pl'' equates
to a patch level and has the same value as a dot in the dewey-decimal
ordering schemes.
