Grid sorting fails when column contains null or missing data

Description (last modified by )
If a model contains null data for a field for some rows, or the field is completely missing for some rows, sorting on a column based on that field in a dojox.Grid fails.
The Grid is re-ordered, but the rows with empty/missing values are not necessarily gathered at the beginning or end of the table, and the rows with valid data in that column are not sorted correctly either. Repeated sorts can produce different results.
Found using a dojox.grid.data.Objects model in Dojo 1.0.2 on IE6. the nulls in my actaul application come from the JSON data source (and originally from an Oracle database.
Empty strings do sort correctly, as do strings containing a single   charcter, so my workaround is obviously to ensure that nulls are converted to proper strings before assigning the model.

No longer an issue with the DataGrid?. Reopen with an updated test case if you see further issues.
