Invalid SQL when Ordering by comparison with null

[dejvid]

I want to Order my collection by comparing a value to null. That way I can force nulls to appear first or last for specific query. The problem is that Devart.Data.Oracle.EFCore (version 9.11.980) generates invalid SQL query.

Example LINQ query:

Code: Select all

context.Entities
    .OrderBy(x => x.SomeString != null)
    .ThenBy(x => x.SomeString)
    .ToList()

Generated SQL (not valid):

Code: Select all

SELECT "v".SOME_STRING
FROM ENTITY "v"
ORDER BY "v".SOME_STRING IS NOT NULL, "v".SOME_STRING

I would expect it to generate something like:

Code: Select all

SELECT "v".SOME_STRING
FROM ENTITY "v"
ORDER BY CASE WHEN "v".SOME_STRING IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END, "v".SOME_STRING

I think the context I have provided should be enough but let me know if you need any additional details.
