I have to agree with Lorenzo. There is no natural ordering of the
complex numbers. Any way you order them is arbitrary.
Accepting this, the question then becomes what should NumPy do when
the user tries to do order comparison operations on complex numbers.
The problem is that NumPy is
I noticed that:
min([1+1j,-1+3j])
gives 1+1j in matlab (where for complex, min(abs) is used)
but gives -1+3j in numpy (where lexicographic order is used)
shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere in Numpy for Matlab users webpage?

It should be stated that they're
