The query is generated by a framework that adds 'nulls last' to all order by clause. This is done apparently to provide common behaviour in our application irrespective of the database that is used. SQL server treats nulls as lesser than non null values which is opposite to what Postgres does. For any indexes that we create manually, we can do a --> create index on table_name(column_name nulls first); But, for the PK column we are not in control of the index that is created.
