Can I assign a static value to NULL during a select statement in MySQL?
I would like any NULL values to be presented as ‘not available’ instead and have the ORDER BY handle the cell as ‘not available’ instead of NULL as well.

You can use COALESCE( column, ‘not available’ ) which returns the string ‘not available’ if column is null (in fact, it returns the first non-null argument).
