        Dataframes/Series in objs list MUST be pre-sorted by columns
        listed in `keys`, or by the index (if `by_index=True`).

        Parameters
        ----------
        objs : list of DataFrame or Series
        keys : list, default None
            List of Column names to sort by. If None, all columns used
            (Ignored if `by_index=True`)
        by_index : bool, default False
            Use index for sorting. `keys` input will be ignored if True
        ignore_index : bool, default False
            Drop and ignore index during merge. Default range index will
            be used in the output dataframe.
        ascending : bool, default True
            Sorting is in ascending order, otherwise it is descending
        na_position : {‘first’, ‘last’}, default ‘last’
            'first' nulls at the beginning, 'last' nulls at the end

        Returns
        -------
        A new, lexicographically sorted, DataFrame/Series.

We intentionally treat warnings as failures in CI to catch such warnings. @madsbk is this something we should fix or should that test be changed or removed?

I think we should remove the test.
