We also have continuous deployment, and we use a major version + the date. It's simply the easiest way to keep track of what's going on. Quite frankly it's easier to query version control to pull out the source files for a given date than it is to constantly have to tag files and query that way.

You shared code that does a direct numerical comparison of versions as if versions were numbers. I just want to point out the caveats that this would only work if you start with all the significant digits you would ever need (e.g. 1.0001) or if the minor version never goes above 9. In your example, (numerically,) 1.1024 < 1.1. (Usually versions are not considered numbers, as they are allowed to have more than one period character, and are not compared numerically.)
