Please read the man page more carefully. slapo-valsort is not for server-side sorting of the search results returned. It's for sorting multiple values of an attribute within a search result entry. So in your case multiple uid's would be sorted (which does not make sense in your case I guess).

Server-side sorting is not implemented in OpenLDAP's slapd.
