They'll normally sort at the top, unless you use ORDER BY DESC. Anyway, fixing that is easy: SELECT col1, col1 IS NULL AS isnull FROM tbl1 ORDER BY isnull DESC, col1 ASC
That should give you the results ordered by col1, with the null-values at the top. - Martijn On Sat, Apr 18, 2009 at 19:54, David M.
