Profiler - sorting by Total Time sorts by string order, not numeric order

Spyder Version: 2.3.1
Python Version: 2.7.6
Qt Version : 4.8.6, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.10.4 on Windows
pyflakes >=0.5.0: 0.8.1 (OK)
pep8 >=0.6 : 1.5.7 (OK)
IPython >=0.13 : 2.3.0 (OK)
pygments >=1.6 : 1.6 (OK)
pandas >=0.13.1 : 0.14.1 (OK)
sphinx >=0.6.6 : 1.2.3 (OK)
rope >=0.9.2 : 0.9.4 (OK)
matplotlib >=1.0: 1.4.0 (OK)
sympy >=0.7.0 : 0.7.5 (OK)
pylint >=0.25 : None (NOK)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run the profiler (F10) on some code
   1. Sort by Total Time (default AFAIK)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Observe that sorting descending by Total Time will yield e.g. the order 3.0 --> 20.0 --> 100.0, which is expected when sorting strings, but wrong when sorting numbers

Please provide any additional information below

. Depending on the sorting implementation, it is possible this can be fixed by simply adding key=float to the sorting function, i.e., instead of lst.sort(), do lst.sort(key=float).
