Position of NULLs in a sort

When sorting a column that has some NULL values, the NULL values are weighted higher than all other values.
For example: Descending sort of a number(01) column: NULL
9
8
7
.
.
.

This is counter-intuitive to me, and my client. Is there a parameter that can be set to reverse this, or another method? Substituting an extremely low value for NULL is an unacceptable solution.

Thanks in advance,
