Reproduce code: --------------- I don't post code here, because its trivial. I will post an example dataset with two entries: entry one: sn=aaaa id=1111 id=2222 id=3333 entry two: sn=bbbb id=6666 id=1000 Expected result: ---------------- If you sort by "id", the second entry should move to the first place, which he doesnt, because only the first vlaues of "id" got compared. Actual result: -------------- entry one remains entry one, although id=6666 is greater than id=1111! ldap_sort() overlooks, that there is an id which is smaller (id=1000). I think the solution to this could be to tell ldap_sort() to search for the biggest value in the multivalue attribute prior comparing with the other entries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32667&edit=1
