WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND
A button that when toggled, switches between treating empty relations as highest and lowest value. Effectively putting them at the beginning or the end of the sorted list.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE

REAL WORLD USE CASES
When sorting relations in a certain direction, an empty relation (text, tag, status, etc…) should either be at the top of the list or at the bottom depending on the data they’re representing. In the case of tags and statuses, one could create a default entry (using templates) which has the highest or lowest priority, but for texts it is not as simple. A button in the sorting menu that toggles between these two behavior would be very helpful when faced with this exact problem.
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES
No non-hacky alternative exists that applies to all relation types.
