XPathOrderByTest issue

We're having trouble passing the TCK
XPathOrderByTest.testOrderByDescending.

The method evaluateResultOrder() in AbstractQueryTest tests the first
result row against "".  For descending order, it's very unlikey that a
value will be <= "" and so we fail.  Can you verify this test is right?
Or are we missing something?

This is the last level 1 test for us to pass, so any help is
appreciated.

Now that I've seen the code I wonder how it is possible that this test 
succeeded in jackrabbit :-/
Probably we were lucky picking the right test data...

No, you're absolutely right, the test case is broken.

That's great to hear.
I've just committed the fix for AbstractQueryTest. svn revision: 292733

Thanks for reporting this issue.
