Nulls sort high (in any datatype, not only timestamps).  It's possible
that we'd offer an option to make them sort low in the future, but I
can't imagine that we'd change the default behavior.

regression=# (select 1 as x union select null) order by x;
 x
---
 1

(2 rows)

regression=# (select 1 as x union select null) order by x desc;
 x

 1
(2 rows)
