Well in gui, when in Software management screen, you can click on the package then select "versions" tab and choose which version you want to use.
With zypper you can do it too - from man page:
install (in) [options] --capability <capability> ... Install or update packages or other resolvables.
The resolvables can be selected by their name or by acapability they provide.
Capability is: NAME, or "NAME[OP<EDITION>]", where OP is<, <=, =, >=, or > and EDITION is VERSION[-RELEASE], for example: zyp‐ per=0.8.8-2.
The NAME component of a capability is not only apackage name but any symbol provided by packages: /bin/vi, libcurl.so.3, perl(Time::ParseDate). Just remember to quote to protect the special characters from the shell, for example: zypper>0.8.10 or 'zypper>0.8.10'
If EDITION is not specified, the newest availableversion will be installed. This also means that if the package is already installed and newer versions are available, it will get upgraded to the newest one.
This is typically obtuse man-page-speak to this simple user (gives me a headache!) but suggests you can select which version, provided you can unravel this explanation.

Yep, documenting is different from coding..
