Don't numeric comparison operators typically sort -0 before +0?

((a,b)=>b-a) is also problematic for an array that contains two or
more infinite values with the same sign and one or more finite values
since isNaN(Infinity-Infinity).   That NaN from the comparator can be
triggered or not based on details of the sorting algo and the precise
placement on the Infinities.
