Sorting Results from a Search

The LDAP API also allows results to be sorted after querying the database. The example clue-s.c queries LDAP for all entries that have an E-Mail address; this is similar to clue-q1.

• The function ldap_sort_entries sorts results by common name (cn).
• Argument 3 (sortby) specifies the sort attribute.
• Argument 4 (strcmp) specifies a callback function that performs the sort comparator. This is the C strcmp() function.

Results may also be sorted on multiple attributes using the ldap_multisort_entries.
