I know there was an earlier thread about using uid attribute for
sorting and that it's not supported by the Console:

However, I thought I'd try following approach:
1. I deleted previous Browsing index for People by using the Console.
2. I created following VLV entries as it suggests in the Admin Guide
"Managing Indexes" chapter (my database is called "ebiRoot"):
dn: cn=MCC ou=People dc=ebi dc=ac dc=uk,cn=ebiRoot,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: vlvSearch
cn: MCC ou=People dc=ebi dc=ac dc=uk
vlvBase: ou=People,dc=ebi,dc=ac,dc=uk
vlvScope: 1
vlvFilter: (|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry))
dn: cn=by MCC ou=People dc=ebi dc=ac dc=uk,cn=MCC ou=People dc=ebi
dc=ac dc=uk,cn=ebiRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: vlvIndex
cn: by MCC ou=People dc=ebi dc=ac dc=uk
vlvSort: uid
3. Then I shutdown slapd and ran the vlvindex command:
$ ./vlvindex -n ebiRoot -T "by MCC ou=People dc=ebi dc=ac dc=uk"

[23/Mar/2007:16:47:06 +0000] - ebiRoot: Finished indexing.
Looks like everything went well from the output.
4. Start slapd, start the console. When I view People, they are still
sorted by cn. Why does it ignore the VLV config that created above? I
also confirmed from Console that vlvsort is set to "uid".
The DirBrowser in the Directory Console sends a control requesting
serverside sorting for an order of cn,givenname,o,ou,sn. Configurable
sort order is an RFE for a future release.
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/lxr/dirsec/source/directoryconsole/src/com/netscape/admin/dirserv/browser/BrowserController.java#75
This is not a major problem, I'm just curious why the above solution
doesn't work? It looks like Console doesn't care what the vlvSort
value is? I don't understand how it can sort with cn when there is no
index.
Thanks!
