ASC Result Set with Nulls at the bottom

I have a results set that is sorted on LineNum. Not all items have a
LineNum (some are null). I want my result set to return all items in
ASC LineNum order and then list all items with NULL LineNum at the end
of the results. Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi ActiveX,

ORDER BY CASE WHEN LineNum IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END, LineNum
