Review comment:
Just 2 cents, I'd feel more natural to change the null ordering
"optional" in SortOrder. It'd be more intuitive on the behavior we want, "if
null ordering is not presented, default null ordering of SortDirection is
taken". Callers of SortOrder has to resolve the null ordering but then we no
longer delegate the implementations to do that instead.
Each implementation can still simply call the method to get the default null
ordering and provide it so no strong voice. Just would like to think out loud
what'd be the clearer.
