I think your way is much better, so I change the patch and it is  
'regression_20190827.patch' now.

There are code lines related to NULL values in
ApplySortAbbrevFullComparator(), but I think the code lines for
comparing a NULL and a NOT NULL can be never reached, because it is
handled in ApplySortComparator() which is called before
ApplySortAbbrevFullComparator(). So I think it is no use to INSERT
a NULL value.
