You have to modify etc/openldap/nis.schema and insert
    ORDERING integerOrderingMatch
in the attribute description of uidNumber.
Or (the cleaner way) define your own attribute type and use that
instead of uidNumber.

No, integerOrderingMatch is.  It's supported in the later OpenLDAP
versions.  I don't remember how late.
