Ok, the above answer can be made more impartial using the following critiria,
(a) does the "purpose" of a function suggest a certain solution(b) which solution is more powerful, i.e. which solution can be used in a wider range of applications (c) efficiency of the implementation, which solution provides a higher performance ?
(d) ... <something I forgot> ?With respect to the question whether NaNs should be sorted to which end, criteria (a) and (b) do not suggest any preferred solution. Therefore, only criteria (c) should be applied.
