LDIF does not necessarily have a specific ordering.
The *X.500 Data Model* specifies that there is no ordering. Entries are sets
of attributes. Sets are inherently unordered.
Don't expect simple text diff tools to be helpful with LDIF data
in general.

Yes, in the sense that your LDAP entries will mainly contain all the
attributes and values like before.
