Surely ensure that they are the first of the 1s, the first of the 2s, etc.
Is that too simple or have I missed something? You could have a further
analysis for vulgar fractions.
Or have a special tratment for these as 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 etc.
Whatever - they will require special treatment.
Just have a note in about half numbers in your sorted standard - don't
attempt to put them in a list.
