Re: Reverse Sort NS LDAP 4.1x

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

Mark Wilcox had reported something similar (I had forgot about it)

Are you saying

  forward sort on a single attribute works
  forward sort on a multiple attributes works
  reverse sort on a single attribute fails
  reverse sort on multipe attributes fails

If so then it looks like the encoding of the reverse flag. But
I looked at this when Mark reported the problem and the PDUs
looked to be encoded OK.

So the other question is does Netscape support reverse sorts ?
