[std/collections] sortBy returns strange result if selector returns NaN sometimes

See original GitHub issue

Because NaN can’t be compared correctly with other numbers, the output becomes broken when the selector returns NaN sometimes.

For example, the following outputs [NaN, 1, NaN, 5, 7, NaN, 2, 6, 9]

import { sortBy } from "./collections/sort_by.ts";

console.log(sortBy([NaN, 1, NaN, 7, NaN, 2, 6, 5, 9], (x) => x));

@LionC It has to be in the description, not the title.

Hm apparently an MR referencing to this being merged does not close the issue automatically.

@kt3k can you close this?
