We're hearing similar requests.  If the SSS request control looked like this, we could have it both ways:

     SortKeyList ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {
                attributeType   AttributeDescription,
                orderingRule    [0] MatchingRuleId OPTIONAL,
                reverseOrder    [1] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE 
                allValues          [2] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE }

where allValues specifies whether or not all attribute values are used (which would result in possible duplicates).
