I thought of that, but Zero On won't work.  That would put it between the 
positive and the negative numbers.  I need it to be at the end because there is 
NO number.   Think I'll have to sort on a dummy column and assign a huge 
negative number to get it at the end.

Although now that I think of it, I do have ZERO ON anyway.   So that helps in 
math situations, but not for sorting.

Using 9.5, 32-bit

I'm putting up a data browser, and it is sorting by a currency column 
DESCENDING.  Many of these rows will have nulls in that column.  Sorting in 
Descending order puts the nulls at the top of the list; I'd rather they went at 
the bottom.

I can probably screw around with adding another column to this temp table, 
assigning a dummy huge negative number to force the sorting, but I'm wondering 
if there's a "set" command or something that would help me on this.

Karen
