Table: Null values do not sort correctly. #222

Open samussiah opened 5 years ago

Because null is neither less nor greater than any other value.

Where do we want null values? At the bottom in descending at at the top in ascending?

First would make it obvious that there are null values. Last would make values you probably don't care about appear last. I don't know. Also, sorting fails when the underlying values are of different types, e.g. numeric and character, because sort doesn't coerce type.
