See #16331 for an explicit example of this. It would be great if you
could give some advice for that, because we haven't come to any useful
consensus yet.
> Well, #16331 is special because you're sorting a list containing
integers and strings. The problem is that the output of
`sorted([3,"foo"])` isn't well-defined.
Yikes, and apparently [http://www.peterbe.com/plog/sorting-mixed-type-
lists-in-python-3 isn't even allowed] in Python 3.
> the IPython order is the sorted order.
Hmm, although I still think some updating could be done, I guess a ticket
just for that or the graphics thing, which is now everywhere, probably
isn't that worthwhile.
