Almost any ANSI standard SQL command would be welcomed here.  In particular I was looking for something in the order by clause that would allow me to sort with NULLS first or NULLS last.

Absent that I tried to use COALESCE to put some values in the null field for sorting.  That also was not supported in QoQ.

The official docs list dozens of reserved words that look to be DB commands that aren't supported in QoQ.  Why not support them.

Other QoQ enhancements would be to get rid of the wonky way they handle data types.  With ColdFusion being typeless, it gets hard to deal with underlying type enforcement when it pops up.  QoQ has always been difficult in this way.

I was forced to pick a platform, but that is meaningless in this case. This should be part of the language core and available on all platforms.
