How can I sort a column so 'empty' fields are last?

I'd like to be able to sort a custom column so I see the entries in ascending alpha-numeric order with the blank entries last.

It's a column created from other columns via template programming, so I can put whatever value I want in the 'blank' entries.

The obvious solution would be to use a whitespace character that sorts past 'z' in the sorting sequence, but I don't know if there is such a character. (Actually I haven't been able to figure out precisely what collation sequences Calibre uses.)

I'd even settle for a nearly invisible character if that's the best I can do.

Thoughts anyone?

p.s. I'm on Windows 10, which may or may not make a difference.
