Review Comment:
   Aah, you raise a good point. I think you may still need to propagate the 
null ordering though?
   
   Edit: I think you need to pass the full options here, and then drop the 
descending for the second sort. But I could be wrong,  multi-level nullability 
is just :exploding_head:
