In SAGE 3.2.1 , the docstring of divisors says:
Definition: divisors(n)
Docstring:
Returns a list of all positive integer divisors
of the nonzero integer n.
A second parameter may be passed to surpress sorting
of the list (as ordering the list can be more time
consuming then creating it).
INPUT:
n -- the element
sorted -- whether or not to sort the output (default True)
My question is how to get an unsorted output?
I tried divisors(300, sorted=False) but SAGE complaints that divisors
only takes 1 argument. In fact, the source codes seem to suggest that
it will always return a sorted list.

Now the divisors are always returned sorted (as we have resolved the issue
of sorting taking the majority of the time). The documentation needs to be
fixed.
