See discussion here:

https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/5AQMG6ADD6RGPLI3VTILB2MKXMBFTIGU/

which followed from discussions on sort order. I was asked to provide a 
PR, but I have technical difficulties with github.

I think it's sufficient to say that sorting relies only on the `<` 
operator, and link to the section of the docs that map special dunders 
to comparison operators, namely here:

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__lt__

where it goes into detail about reflected methods and such.
