My question is ubuntu shows openjdk-11 in their ppa, but why it doesn't show openjdk-10, although openjdk-10 is stable release and openjdk-11 is in development.

You must ask the PPA author why they made their choices. PPAs are not the official, supported Ubuntu repositories. – user535733 May 31 '18 at 22:59
@user535733 Where can I find the author and how I can ask him? – alhelal May 31 '18 at 23:01
Start at launchpad.net. – user535733 May 31 '18 at 23:03
@user535733 this screenshot is taken from a fresh ubuntu after installation then why it is not official? – alhelal May 31 '18 at 23:04
@user535733 I didn't add any PPA about openjdk. – alhelal May 31 '18 at 23:06

You asked about package choices in a PPA - it's right there in the title. Perhaps you have a different question? – user535733 May 31 '18 at 23:06

Perhaps the questioner means "the 18.04 repositories" rather than "the 18.04 PPA". – Organic Marble Jun 01 '18 at 01:45
