Your assumption was not correct, there is no requirement in RFC-4511
and RFC4512

With OpenLDAP schemas are written to cn=schema,cn=config, and the DN
contains a ordering quantifier and the schema name, like dn: cn={0}core
see
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/slapdconf2.html
Please note that X-ORDERED 'VALUES' syntax is used to create odering 
quantifiers.
