Ouch! You're right: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/working-with-null.html """When doing an ORDER BY, NULL values are presented first if you do ORDER BY ... ASC and last if you do ORDER BY ... DESC.""" Not configurable in MySQL. It's apparently not part of the standard, according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_by So definitely SQL's handling of NULL should not be any sort of guide as regards Python's treatment of None.
