You might consider something like http://www.highlandsun.com/hyc/drafts/draft-chu-ldap-xordered-xx.html which is only slightly less clumsy, and that spec needs to be revised anyway.
Client-side ordering seems to me a suitable use of attribute option-based subtypes, e.g.:
telephonenumber;x-preference-1: (888) 555-1212 telephonenumber;x-preference-10: (202) 555-1212
IIRC, the last time I tried defining private attribute options in openldap I was disappointed in its support for extension of the option namespace, but that was a long time ago.
