ORDER By String (Collation)

Ordering of strings is based on their Unicode value, with NULL having the lowest value.

Query - Ascending Order

NULL is listed at the beginning of the result set.

SELECT tags.'tag-1' AS "Tag Value", tags.'tag-unicode-1' AS "unicode-1", tags.'tag-unicode-2' AS "unicode-2", tags.'tag-unicode-7' AS "unicode-7"
  FROM "m-order"
WHERE entity = 'e-1'
  ORDER BY tags.'tag-1' ASC

Results
