Form the intersection of two Index objects.

Parameters
----------
other : Index or array-like
sort : False or None, default False
    Sort the resulting index if possible

    .. versionadded:: 0.24.0

    .. versionchanged:: 0.24.1

       Changed the default to ``False`` to match the behaviour
       from before 0.24.0.

Returns
-------
intersection : Index
