SLAPO-VALSORT(5)					      SLAPO-VALSORT(5)

NAME
       slapo-valsort - Value Sorting overlay to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The  Value  Sorting overlay can be used with a backend database to sort
       the values of specific multi-valued attributes within  a	 subtree.  The
       sorting	occurs	whenever  the  attributes  are	returned  in  a search
       response.

       Sorting can be specified in ascending or descending order, using either
       numeric	or  alphanumeric sort methods. Additionally, a "weighted" sort
       can be  specified,  which  uses	a  numeric  weight  prepended  to  the
       attribute  values.   The weighted sort is always performed in ascending
       order, but may be combined with the other methods for values  that  all
       have  equal  weights.  The weight is specified by prepending an integer
       weight {<weight>} in front of each value of  the	 attribute  for	 which
       weighted	 sorting is desired. This weighting factor is stripped off and
       never returned in search results.

CONFIGURATION
       These slapd.conf options apply to  the  Value  Sorting  overlay.	  They
       should appear after the overlay directive.

       valsort-attr  <attribute>  <baseDN>  (<sort-method>  | weighted [<sort-
       method>])
	      Configure a sorting method for the specified  attribute  in  the
	      subtree  rooted  at  baseDN.   The  sort-method  may  be	one of
	      alpha-ascend, alpha-descend, numeric-ascend, or numeric-descend.
	      If  the  special weighted method is specified, a secondary sort-
	      method may also be specified. It	is  an	error  to  specify  an
	      alphanumeric sort-method for an attribute with Integer or Numer‐
	      icString syntax, and it is an error to specify a	numeric	 sort-
	      method  for  an  attribute  with	a syntax other than Integer or
	      NumericString.

EXAMPLES
	    database bdb
	    suffix dc=example,dc=com
	    ...
	    overlay valsort
	    valsort-attr member ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com alpha-ascend
