I wouldn't, it just confuses what should be a simple action. Of course if
the customer wants it that way then change it :O)

Subject: usability question involving a sort.


I have data that looks something like this.

Tran   Service   Product   CPT
RBC              004350    P9016
FFP              034361    P9017
102199 102199              86999
102131 102131              86808

There are contols to sort each column in either ascending or descending
order.  My question involves the blank values when sorting by either the
Service or Product columns.  Is it good, bad or indifferent that when these
columns are sorted in asscending order, the blank values appear first.
Since there can be several dozen rows like this, they seem to be kind of in
the way to me.  But maybe that is just me.  Would it be worth my time to
somehow progamatically ignore these columns in the sort order basically
always relegating them to the bottom of the list?
