There is no explanation as to the meanings of "sorted high" and "sorted low" (the methods nullsAreSortedHigh and nullsAreSortedLow of interface java.sql.DatabaseMetaData).

Since there are the "sorted at end" and "sorted at start" questions (nullsAreSortedAtEnd and nullsAreSortedAtStart), the difference between the two sets of methods needs to be explained. (An example would be helpful.)

Lastly, does JDBC or the SQL standard specify one (start vs. end, high vs. low) to be the standard? I have never seen nulls sorted to anything but the start.
