We review a recently proposed measure of the nonclassicality of a bosonic field, based on the sensitivity of its quasi-probability distributions to ordering of the creation and annihilation operators. We illustrate the new measure by several concrete examples and show its advantages compared to other measures of nonclassicality such as the Wigner function negativity and the entanglement potential.
