Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-801:
---------------------------------------------
I think you have no idea of the implication of such a feature, client side. The
fact that it's "requested" since 2009 is irrelevant. There is nothing in LDAP
specification that requires the data to be sorted in any way. Add that ordering
DNs is all but obvious, and sometime impossible.
Yes, it would be cool to have such a feature, but, no, it's not easy to
implement, and it's not easy to use either.
There already exists some control that ask the server to order the returned
entries on the server, not all servers support them.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: studio-ldapbrowser
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M3
> Reporter: Jim Willeke
> Priority: Minor
>
> When exporting to LDIF the entries may or may not be in the proper order for
> importing.
> A nice feature would be to sort the entries in a "parent-first" fashion so
> when importing the Parents would always be in the file before any of the
> children.
> This could be done on an export or perhaps an import also.
