Your LDIF isn't "sorted" (*) because likely data was written like that in slapd, likely using an ancient version of the software.
Either you use the corresponding slapadd to import it, or you sort it manully and use a recent version of OpenLDAP that keeps it sorted. Note that in LDAP there is no notion of "sorting" (*) entries, so your complaint makes little sense. If your issue is that exported LDIFs cannot be loaded back, I note that since ever OpenLDAP tools allowed to import LDIFs created with the corresponding tool of the same version, and changes only occurred when minor version numbers changed. p. (*) I assume you mean listing entries in an order that is hierarchically consistent, so that parents always come before their children. > I have tried extract ldif file with slapcat and ldif file isn´t sort. > > >> --On Monday, October 10, 2005 10:50 AM +0200 >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>> I have problems extract ldif file of openldap.
