Right In the case where a sorting key (e.g. the attributes in the above example) is not present, is it possible to specify that absentees should be at the front or at the back of the list? For example, I want to sort a group of items in ascending alphabetical order based on child element "name". Since the name is optional (there may be a series/name and series/number instead of ./name), can I request that any items without a ./name element be at the top of the list, followed by the alphabetical sorting of all items with a ./name element? Conversely, how do I request that they be at the end of the list? (I forget which is the default at the moment.)
