Fedora directory users - Dec 2006 - Re: Sort Objects problem in Directory Server Console

I''ve made more tests with the Console and the problem is not related to
use numbers in attribute uid. Sorry.
The problem is that when I click in "sort objects" the console
doesn''t sort by "uid" but by "cn" attribute. I need
to sort by the uid attribute.

Thanks,
Renato.

That''s a missing feature in the console - it can only sort by
cn.

A workaround might be to try ldapbrowser to view the fds contents ?
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html
In my openldap, I can sort the entries by the users name, but again, it 
is probably actually by cn with the cn being username and full name.
