I'm trying to understand how to (if possible) specify that the sort key be the rdn (the leftmost component of the name) of an entry.

I tried to see ways to use what's been done with the ":dn" keyword in 2254.  Nothing struck me as appropriate.  The other would be, to come up with an AttributeDescription option like dn or rdn.  So "cn;rdn" or "cn;dn", would mean, use cn but consider the entry's dn also.  When an entry doesn't have a cn, dn would be used exclusively.

Is there an existing way?  A better way?

Jim
