#6.139,6.3,6.319,6.38#

Explanation:

#((6.139,6.381,6.3,6.319)) #

To find the least, compare the first digit,

The first digit is all #6#.

Now compare the second digit,

The smallest second digit is #1#, making #6.139# the smallest.

The second digit of the others is all #3#.

Now compare the third digit,

The smallest third digit is #0#, making #6.3# the second smallest.

The second smallest third digit is #1#, making #6.319# the third smallest.

The largest third digit is #8#, making #6.381# the greatest.

Hence, from smallest to greatest: #6.139,6.3,6.319,6.38#
