# SortMissingValueAtEnd

Whether to sort documents that do not contain the specified sort field. If you set `SortMissingValueAtEnd` to `False`, IDOL Server sorts documents that do not contain the sort field like any other value. For example, they occur at the end when the sort method is set to `Increasing` or `Alphabetical`, and at the start when the sort method is set to `Decreasing` or `ReverseAlphabetical`.

If you set `SortMissingValueAtEnd` to `True`, all documents without the specified sort field occur at the bottom for all sort methods.

NOTE: This setting has an effect only if you set SortReturnAllDocuments to `True`. If SortReturnAllDocuments is set to `False` (the default value), documents that do not have the specified sort field are not returned.
