You mean I have to change the method?

I added EVFlag.fNullable to the current definition, and the records 
still sort randomly.

I also realize that I wasn't using fNullable in my regular field 
definitions (I am nw) and was nulling them in my code. Valentina 
didn't complain, but perhaps just nothing was being done.
