The reason is probably that the function 'string-to-number' return 0 for
anything that cannot be converted to a number.

Thus, as far as sorting is concerned, "not a number cells" and "cells
containing zeros" are the same and can be put in any arbitrary order.

Maybe org should handle NaN cells in a better way.
