Bear in mind search results returned by synchronous search methods are in a list of 2-tuples each consisting of the DN string and the entry dictionary like this: [(dn,entry)] Without testing just as food for thought: Compare function for case-insensitive comparison of the DN: cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x[0].lower(), y[0}.lower()) Compare function for case-insensitive comparison of the first attribute value of 'cn' (this would choke with KeyError exception if there's no attribute 'cn' in the entry): cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x[1]['cn'][0].lower(), y[1]['cn'][0].lower()) And then results.sort(cmp). I don't know how fast this is though. The rest of the homework is up to you. For various list sorting aspects you should ask in news:comp.lang.python Ciao, Michael. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
