Sorting empty values last instead of first

Question

I am trying to implement a sorting procedure which will sort according to the value of a drop down list. What happens is that when the list is being sorted, the NULL fields will be replaced by specified replacement value, in this case ''. This is being sorted first because we are sorting ascendingly, now I would want to sort ascendingly BUT with null values LAST. How could I implement this?

ORDER BY l.IsActive DESC, 
        CASE WHEN @SortOrder = 1 THEN n.DisplayName
             WHEN @SortOrder = 2 THEN CASE ec.IsEquipmentRelated
                                            WHEN  1 THEN ISNULL(el.ShopID,'') + 
                                                    ISNULL(ec.EquipmentAbbr,'') + 
                                                    ISNULL(el.ClassSequenceNumber,'') + 
                                                    ISNULL(el.EquipmentComponent,'') + 
                                                    ISNULL(el.CompSequenceNumber,'')
                                            WHEN  0 THEN ISNULL(ec.EquipmentAbbr,'')
                                            ELSE NULL
                                      END
             ELSE l.DisplayName
        END

Edit: @Joe Stefanelli, I have tried this, it's not compiling:

ORDER BY l.IsActive DESC, 
    CASE WHEN @SortOrder = 0 THEN l.DisplayName
         WHEN @SortOrder = 1 THEN CASE WHEN n.DisplayName = '' THEN 2 ELSE 1 END, n.DisplayName
         WHEN @SortOrder = 2 THEN 
                                  CASE ec.IsEquipmentRelated
                                        WHEN  1 THEN ISNULL(el.ShopID,'') + 
                                            ISNULL(ec.EquipmentAbbr,'') + 
                                            ISNULL(el.ClassSequenceNumber,'') + 
                                            ISNULL(el.EquipmentComponent,'') + 
                                            ISNULL(el.CompSequenceNumber,'')
                                        WHEN  0 THEN ISNULL(ec.EquipmentAbbr,'')
                                        ELSE NULL
                                  END
     END

Answer 1

...
ORDER BY CASE WHEN YourField = '' THEN 2 ELSE 1 END, YourField

Answer 2

Best way is to add a derived column that would have sort order values (CASE that checks whether the other column is null) and then order by that column.
