Makes sense on both accounts. I will look into replicating this with
ldapmodify.
Thank you.

After a bit more time with the Console I changed the order of the
attributes within the textbox(?) that displays the mail attribute
values.
Please see the attached screenshots.
Ldapsearch output also confirms the new order. The change seems
persistent, at least for now.
Ok, it may work for now, but it is not guaranteed to work, and may
break unexpectedly in the future.
I do not know what happened in the background.
Do you think this could also be done from the command line?
Yes - ldapmodify.

Hi!
Out DIT holds user entries that have multiple "mail" attributes
(main email, aliases).
Here is an example entry:
dn: eduPersonPrincipalName=user@xxxxxxxxxxx,dc=example,dc=com
mail: nickname@xxxxxxxxxxx
mail: user@xxxxxxxxxxx
mail: user.name@xxxxxxxxxxx
Our application (e.g. WordPress) authenticates against the 389DS
and also pull some additional attributes, needed by the
application. In this case the email address.
The application picks up the first mail attribute received and uses
it as the user's email. In this case would be
"nickname@xxxxxxxxxxx", which is unwanted. The desired outcome
would be the "user.name@xxxxxxxxxxx" displayed as first.
By what algorithm/logic do the attributes get sorted? Time added
perhaps?
Undefined.
Is there any way of influencing this sorting?
No.
We were also thinking of putting the "main" email into another
attribute. Which attribute would be appropriate for something like
this?
There is an attribute 'mailAlternateAddress' - not sure what it is
used for
