You can limit the numbers of entries returned in a search by setting the 
sizelimit in the search operation (perldoc Net::LDAP)

Directories are defined to return the results in any order, however once 
you get them back, you can do what you want with them, including sorting 
them.

When you get the results back then, you can sort them using the sorted 
method (perldoc Net::LDAP::Search)
