- .. method:: assertSameElements(expected, actual, msg=None)
+ .. method:: assertSameElements(actual, expected, msg=None)
 
 Test that sequence *expected* contains the same elements as *actual*,
 regardless of their order. When they don't, an error message listing
 the differences between the sequences will be generated.
 
+ Duplicate elements are ignored when comparing *actual* and *expected*.
+ It is the equivalent of ``assertEqual(set(expected), set(actual))``
+ but it works with sequences of unhashable objects as well.
+
 If specified *msg* will be used as the error message on failure.
