As far as I know, in the index, a string that is zero length is still a string,
and would not count as "missing".
The CSV importer has a way to not index empty entries, but once it is in the
index, it is in the index -- as an empty string.
i.e.
String silly = null;
Is not the same thing as:
String silly = "";

Subject: RE: sort non-roman character strings last
Jay,
Thanks, good call on the pattern.
Still, my embedded question: if a field is filtered down to a zero-length
string, does this qualify as "missing" so far as sortMissingLast is
concerned?
If not, your suggestion should work fine -- appreciated!!
Cheers,
Bill
