I agree completely. Sorting nulls isn't technically valid in the first place 
but in practical terms you need to do something with them. Since we have 
conflicting needs, I think we should come up with a property that will define 
how nulls are sorted so that both your solution and a DB-specific one (if 
available) are triggered based on the preference.

something along the lines of: nullSortOrdering=first/last

What do you think?

Based on your email, I will update the Jira PATCH ticket I submitted to hold 
off on applying it so we can better address this.
