Excuse me, I had an epiphany.

NaN returns False for every comparison.

So in teory any element of the iterable should result minor that NaN.

So NaN should treated as the highest element, and should be at the end of the 
sorted result!

Indeed this is the behavior in Java. NaNs are in the end of the sorted iterator.

On the contrary, Python sorting does not move the NaN from its position.

Why?
