Previously, this comparison callback was called too late, after applying various adhoc conversions. Chances, they wouldn't work as user want, only leading to confusion. So, as long as the comparison callback is defined, call it as soon, not as late, as possible. This includes letting it decide how null values are sorted, instead of hardcoding a particular behavior. Calling ASAP and skipping all conversions also saves CPU cycles in users' browsers.
