As OpenLDAP 2.0 doesn't support integer ordering, no.

You'll get screwing behavior.

Consider which be greater "10" or "2"?  If we're comparing integers,
10 should be greater.  If we're comparing directory strings, 2 should
be greater.

One likely could back port the integer support, but given all the
other problems with 2.0, upgrading would likely be a more appropriate
approach.
