I'm creating a search that allows results to be sorted in different 
ways. In defining the sortable fields, I was careful to use untokenized 
indexes. Everything was working great except for one field-- it refused 
to sort properly, even though all the others were fine.

It seems as if the presence of empty strings in my data were to blame. 
By setting them to a default value, sorting on that field suddenly 
worked fine. Why is that? The same failure happened when I changed the 
empty strings to nulls.

Do I always have to check for empty strings or nulls when defining sort 
fields?
