public final class SortControl extends BasicControl
The following code sample shows how the class may be used:
// Open an LDAP association
LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext();
// Activate sorting
String sortKey = "cn";
ctx.setRequestControls(new Control[]{
new SortControl(sortKey, Control.CRITICAL) });
// Perform a search
NamingEnumeration results =
ctx.search("", "(objectclass=*)", new SearchControls());
// Iterate over search results
while (results != null && results.hasMore()) {
// Display an entry
SearchResult entry = (SearchResult)results.next();
System.out.println(entry.getName());
System.out.println(entry.getAttributes());
// Handle the entry's response controls (if any)
if (entry instanceof HasControls) {
// ((HasControls)entry).getControls();
}
}
// Examine the sort control response
Control[] controls = ctx.getResponseControls();
if (controls != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) {
if (controls[i] instanceof SortResponseControl) {
SortResponseControl src = (SortResponseControl)controls[i];
if (! src.isSorted()) {
throw src.getException();
}
} else {
// Handle other response controls (if any)
}
}
}
// Close the LDAP association
ctx.close();

This class implements the LDAPv3 Request Control for server-side sorting as defined in RFC 2891. The control's value has the following ASN.1 definition:
SortKeyList ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE { attributeType AttributeDescription, orderingRule [0] MatchingRuleId OPTIONAL, reverseOrder [1] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE }
