provided to the baseset.

     sortings and reordering can then happen lazily and membership testing is
     fast because it is backed up by a native python set. The iteration order is
     controled by the order of data initially provided. To enforce a different
     order, use the `.sort()` or `.sort(reverse=True)` methods.

+    value is None, the order of the provided data will be used. If the value is
+    True (or False) the baseset will assume the data are ascending (or
+    descending, respectively) and be optimised accordingly.
+
+    BEWARE that the value provided in `isasc`  MUST match the order of the data
