Currently, ldap_sort_entries when used with a multivalued attribute assumes that the attribute values are in the same order for all the entries. It would be better if this was not the case. For example, I would like to use ldap_sort_entries to sort entries according to objectclass attribute, so as to group entries by kind of objects. Let be 3 entries: ==>cn=n1, objectclass: person, organizationalperson ==>ou=ou1, objectclass: organizationalunit ==>cn=n2, objectclass: organizationalperson, person result of ldap_sort_entries on objectclass: n2, ou1, n1, whereas I expected n1, n2, ou1.
