[Numpy-discussion] numpy sort is not working

[Travis Oliphant]

Hey Alok, 

This is worth taking a look.   What version of NumPy are you using?  

It is not related directly to the issue you referenced as that was an endian-ness issue and your data is native-order.   

Your example seems to work for me (with a simulated case on 1.6.1)

Best,

-Travis
