RE: Any sample on sorting?

Hi Charles,

Thanks for replying.

I have tried what you said - and I tried sorting on "cn" itself. But the results remain unsorted. I am not sure if sorting itself is supported by AD or not. Have you got successful sorted results EVER? If yes, I will have hope on my side.

Here is the code.

bool LDAPH_ObjectSet::SortSelectedObjects( const _TSTR strKeyAttribute )
{
    LDAPSortKey **ppSortKeys = new LDAPSortKey *[2];
    ppSortKeys[0] = new LDAPSortKey;
    ppSortKeys[0]->sk_attrtype = (_TCHAR*)strKeyAttribute.c_str();
    ppSortKeys[0]->sk_matchruleoid = LDAP_SERVER_SORT_OID_W;
    ppSortKeys[0]->sk_reverseorder = false;
    ppSortKeys[1] = NULL;

    LDAPControl *pLdapSortControl;

    ULONG ulRes = ldap_create_sort_control( m_pLdapSession->GetSessionHandle(),
                                            ppSortKeys,
                                            1,
                                            &pLdapSortControl );

LDAPH_EXPECT_LDAP_SUCCESS( ulRes );

    LDAPControl **ppLdapControls = new LDAPControl*[2];
    ppLdapControls[0] = pLdapSortControl;
    ppLdapControls[1] = NULL;

    // Erase previous Search results.
        if ( NULL != m_pSelectedObjects )
        {
            ldap_msgfree(m_pSelectedObjects);
            m_pSelectedObjects = NULL;
        }

    ulRes = ldap_search_ext_s( m_pLdapSession->GetSessionHandle(),
                               (_TCHAR *) m_strBaseObjectDN.c_str(),
                               m_Level,
                               (_TCHAR*)m_strFilter.c_str(),
                               m_pptcsAttrs,
                               m_bAttribValues,
                               ppLdapControls,
                               NULL,
                               NULL,
                               0,
                               &m_pSelectedObjects );

    ldap_control_free( pLdapSortControl );
    delete ppSortKeys[0];
    delete [] ppSortKeys;
    delete [] ppLdapControls;

LDAPH_EXPECT_LDAP_SUCCESS( ulRes );

return true;
}
