Versioning with `1.19.x` breaks semver so mod updaters don't work properly

What happened?
When I use PrismLauncher or Packwiz to try and update my mods, iris keeps trying to downgrade from 1.4.5 to 1.4.2. The reason is that in modrinth, the version number of 1.4.2 is 1.19.x-v1.4.2 and the version number of 1.4.5 is 1.19.2-v1.4.5. When using semver to pick the latest version, the 1.4.2 version wins.
My recommendation would be to swap the game version and the iris versions so that it is v1.4.2-1.19.x and v1.4.5-1.19.2. Using this scheme, the versions should sort properly with semver.

Really, it should actually be 1.4.5+1.19.2 because a - indicates a pre-release version and these are not pre-releases but rather build metadata.
@Prospector True. Thanks for pointing that out. I can confirm this is how Fabric API is versioned: https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api/versions
