Certain subtrees of the glue data are ordered specifically. It reflects the order in which the glue code walks the tree, and using -S would prevent the verification of this ordering.

Ouch. Looks like a lot of work to edit the data for test011 and test12 so it gets sorted. Changes would cascade to a lot of tests. Maybe for test029 too, I haven't looked too carefully.

So the best I can think of for now is to sort the data anyway when testing back-ldif, so it at least gets some verification. I can give tests/scripts/acfilter.sh parameters '-S backend,backend,...' which means to sort the input when using those backends. If perl is available it can sort by record, otherwise it'll just have to sort by lines.
