I disagree. NumPy sort leaving nan's where they are is probably just a side-effect of nans unusual properties (both nan<x and nan>x is always false), but it is a logical choice. Checking for nan will inevitably slow the most common use case. If you want an exception, just check isnan(x).any() before sort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
