That's because blanks or spaces have a lower value than any other character.

In a table that has 5 columns (one column being first name and another
being
last name of employees) when I try to sort descending by last name the
results work. However, if I sort ascending by the same names, the
resulting
sort drops to the bottom of the table with all the empty rows above it.
The
results are sorted correctly, but now are at the bottom instead of the top
of
the table?!?
