Re: Sorting the NAME Attribute

However, I will note, the definitions of these attributes are RFC defined. They have no ORDERING rule on purpose.

Just a quick follow-up on my own post:

The RFC is based on the ITU specification, which (as of ITU-T Rec. X.520 (11/2008)) says:

6.2.1: Name: The Name attribute type is the attribute supertype from which string attribute types typically used for naming may be formed.

name ATTRIBUTE ::= { WITH SYNTAX UnboundedDirectoryString EQUALITY MATCHING RULE caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTRINGS MATCHING RULE caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch ID id-at-name }

That certainly suggests that matching against this field should be case-insensitive, so it follows that ordering should also be case-insensitive.
