[Fedora-directory-users] Server Side Sorting limitations/configuration

[Thierry Lanfranchi]

Hello,

I've noticed a strange behavior when I do a substring search based on 
only one letter, my results are not sorted.
When I search for (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(sn=FA*)), I get 
immediate sorted results,
but when I search for (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(sn=Y*)), I get 
immediate results, unsorted, despite results being less numerous than 
previous requests' results.

Is that "not sorting on single letter search" feature wanted (maybe even 
RFC stuff that I haven't read yet), and if so, can I enable sorting even 
in that case, or is it to be considered a strange behavior and I need to 
look for more informations in order to solve it ?

Just in case, my user class is not inetOrgPerson, but a class I defined 
inheriting from inetOrgPerson with added attributes. Mentionning it just 
in case...

Thanks in advance for your answers,
Thierry
