Table: sorting breaks for a mix of strings and nulls

See original GitHub issue

Using data from the following query as an example:

select null as x

union all

select '' || s.a % 2 AS x FROM generate_series(1,14) AS s(a)

union all

select null as x

(generates a series of 0,1 values along with two nulls)

If you try to sort it, it places the nulls in random places.
