I think there may be something else going on than just an empty field.
See my notes from a few minutes ago:
<http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2014-October/207457.html>
Further testing shows the same surprisingly smart behavior even if one
of the fields is empty (it simply sorts that to become the first card,
as we'd expect), so I have to wonder if there's something else going on
with the data.
