Thanks! I think we should keep also the oldest supported versions first and it's OK to also add newest 11 and 2022 versions like you did... but we cannot only support the latest and greatest.

I looked into the images available here and here

In windows we already did the tests on windows-2019, it is just below the windows-2022 test. These are the only two images listed above.

In MacOS, there are only three, 10.14, 10.15 and 11, of which 10.14 will be deprecated and removed soon. So replaced those tests too.

Also note that I removed python 3.6 in the newer images, as they are not supported and not present so were generating errors.

Do you also mean the ordering on the tests in the azure-pipelines.yml file? Like the windows-2019 should be before the windows-2022 test?
