Now that Moxie has been released, it is time to fix this bug. The fix should be pretty simple and straight forward. Basically treat a null as either high or low value for all data types, and allow the developer to specify a sort data type for any column that would override the automatic data type determination forcing a specific type of sorting.
Can someone that is running FB 3.0 please check to see that this bug still exists.
