Oh, OK, but that page says "Here is a list of all LDAP related RFCs." That's why I was confused at its exclusion. Might want to change the wording. :) > You need it badly? Well, kind of. We've got a contract to create a common address book between two Windows AD domains. Exporting the records and importing them into the LDAP server, and pointing Outlook at said server is easy. Searches work great. To support browsing in Outlook, however, either server side paging AND server side sorting OR VLV must be supported. > > Namely this one: > > http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2891.txt Can anyone tell me if > > Server Side Sorting of Search Results is supported by ApacheDS > > 1.0.x?

Yeah, I heard that the OpenLDAP guys said pretty much the same thing (OpenLDAP doesn't support sorting or VLV either, for the record). Without dragging this down into nitty-gritty tech details, can you explain why implementing server-side sorting is such a pain?
