sorting records with empty fields

I am trying to sort all records by first name, alphabetically. Some of the records have no first name entered, the field is blank, but I still want them to come up in the sort- but I want them last on the list. This seems like it should be simple but I can't figure it out. The only way I can get those with empty fields to the bottom of the list is to start my sort from Z rather than A. I need A - Z, then blanks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Create a text calculation field with the following calculation:

if(not isempty(FirstName), FirstName, 'zzzz')

Sort the records based on the calculation field instead of sorting by first name.
